We have been informed this week that there is an ongoing consultation instigated by the Royal Mail over plans for a seismic change in the way it operates its business.
Amongst the proposals that might cause concern for members is substantial changes to the way letters are processed and charged. It is probably not too surprising that sending a letter or small parcel through the post will cost more, but more concerning is the fact that deliveries may be reduced to as few as 3 days per week.
For the drop-in this week it would be useful to understand what impact this will have, and by default how important this form of delivery is to the operation of your business. We are working with partners from across the Independent Retailers Confederation and will use this information to feed back into the consultation process.
These sessions are really informal and open to any business operating across the MI sector.
If you’d like to come along, you can register to attend this week’s session here.
