TNT seeks mail delivery licence

THE FIRST application has been made for a licence to deliver mail since postal services were opened to competition by PostComm, the industry regulator, in March. TNT UK, a division of TNT Post, is seeking two one-year licences to operate an internal mail system for an unnamed bank and to provide a guaranteed next day delivery service to another company in the financial sector. In practice, this would simply be a continuation of TNT’s existing activities, but the move is being seen as “the first glimmer of a challenge” to the Post Office.
