Role of the Royal Mail Group Compliance Officer – statement by Postcomm
As required by Condition 13 of the Licence issued by Postcomm, Royal Mail has appointed a Compliance Officer with responsibility for certain tasks set out in the Licence. The Licence envisages, and Postcomm expects, the Compliance Officer to play an active role in the areas for which he has responsibility under the Licence. This requires the Compliance Officer to have the requisite corporate authority and the resources necessary to perform the role effectively. In Postcomm’s view, the compliance officer needs to take a
prominent role within the company seeking to influence appropriate corporate behaviour and any necessary change in corporate culture to reflect the new regulatory system brought about by the Postal Services Act 2000. After consultation with Postcomm, Royal Mail has appointed Jonathan Evans, who is also Royal Mail Group plc’s Company Secretary, as its Compliance Officer.

Read MoreDMA pressures parties to avert postal strike
The DMA (UK) is urging Royal Mail and postal workers to reach an agreement over pay conditions and avert a national strike that could plunge the direct marketing industry into crisis. A DMA spokesman says: “We can ill afford action in this economic climate. Consumers wouldn’t be able to respond, wouldn’t have their orders fulfilled, and it would damage their confidence in the medium. “Advertisers may make switches on their media schedules, and the Royal Mail recovery plan could be thrown into jeopardy. We’re asking both parties to use common sense.”
