Chairman plans shake up of French postal system
Jean-Paul Bailly, chairman of La Poste, intends to overhaul the country’s postal system to bring it up to par with the needs of 21st-century France. Mr Bailly plans to bring more work to underused branches, including the assumption of some local-government functions or sale of tennis-court reservations or train tickets. Through the reforms, the La Poste chairman is seeking to upgrade mail service, create ties with small businesses and boost revenue from financial services.
