TPG requests interim licence for bulk mail in UK
TPG NV said its subsidiary TPG Post UK Ltd filed for an interim licence to provide bulk mail and consolidation services in the UK market.
The licence will enable TPG to start a pilot service this year, prior to the launch of activities under a full-term licence in 2003.
TPG intends to provide services to large companies, publishers, mailing houses and direct marketers.
TPG already holds an interim licence via TNT UK Ltd and has applied to extend its existing licence to allow it to provide off-site mailroom services and internal mail services to other customers. At present, this licence is only applicable for a single customer.
TNT has also been granted a technical change to its interim licence, allowing it to provide existing business customers with services during disruption to Royal Mail services.
