Together: Posts and Industry

“Rethinking Strategic Partnerships,” by Michael J. Critelli, Chairman and CEO, Pitney Bowes, is a speech from Post-Expo 2001 in Geneva. “The theme of my remarks today is partnership. The partnership of which I will speak is that among the posts around the world and the industry that provides solutions for mailers and recipients of mail. I will discuss the very different worlds of letter mail and packages during my remarks. I will draw heavily on my learnings as a CEO of an industry participant, and my more-concentrated learnings as co-chair of a Mailing Industry Task Force in the United States.

Railtrack “reluctantly accepted that there was no credible alternative to administration”, said the statement.

Airlines may decline loan offer

Several US airlines may decide not to take up the largest portion of the aid offered under the federal assistance package, despite having lobbied intensely for a government bail-out of the industry.

The Air Transport Association estimates that only half of the 10 largest carriers will apply for loan guarantees offered by the government, which could total $10bn.
