Name change posted
THE chairman of Consignia, the company which runs Britain’s postal services, last night admitted he would like to change the name.
Consignia became the new name for the Post Office last year when it converted into a plc group. But Allan Leighton said in an interview: “Would I like to change the name? Yes I would. Because of the bad publicity, a lot of people know the name of Consignia. But it is almost like there is this other company called Consignia which is going around attracting derision.”
Consignia has come under fire for cutting jobs and is facing the threat of national strikes.
