ROYAL MAIL - Key Persons
Andy joined Royal Mail as a cadet in 1988. But he's not the only one who has enjoyed a long career here. He thinks it's because the pay and conditions are second to none and that he and his colleagues are rightfully proud of the work they do for the UK. Watch his film to find out more.
John joined us in 2003 and has worked in a lot of different roles since. But he enjoys being a driver largely because of the variety of work he gets and how well structured the day is. He does a mixture of national and local jobs but no matter which he's on, he always knows exactly when he's going to start, finish and have his breaks. Watch his film to find out more about the day-to-day life of a driver.
For John, the pay and conditions are what make Royal Mail a great place to work. He thinks the money is great compared with other HGV roles and the HGVs are much better maintained. He's encouraged to flag every single issue from even the smallest defect to the maintenance team, which means he doesn't ever have to worry about the vehicle and can focus on doing his job.
Meet Matt. He's been a postie in Bradford for over 10 years and still enjoys it for the same reasons he applied in the first place. Early starts and early finishes, being outside rather than in an office and getting to work alongside people he likes. But that's not all he does. He's a workplace coach as well which means he helps newer colleagues learn the job. Find out more about what that means in this film.
Stacey wanted a career change and chose being a postie for the outdoor life. Going from two thousand steps a day to twenty thousand wasn't easy, but she had plenty of support to help her find her feet. Watch her film and find out why she thinks she made the right decision.
