Whether it is delivering a letter from friend, a smile to someone who needs it, a carefully chosen gift to be wrapped in a bow, or just a few friendly words of hello, the postmen and women of Royal Mail are delivering more than just the post.
Everyday is a day for sending, sharing, giving and receiving for Royal Mail; through wind, rain, snow and sunshine postal workers are, for many, a much-needed connection to the world outside of a door.

As a pillar of the community and a dependable link to loved ones near and far postal workers enjoy a rewarding a varied position at the forefront of one of the UK’s most trusted delivery companies.
For a post man or woman, a usual day will start at the delivery office sorting the mail for their route before joining a colleague in a shared van to begin their round.Lugging a heavy bag is a thing of the past, with trolleys to help carry the load and hand-held devices to make collecting customer signatures easy a standard round takes around 4 hours to complete.
