Post Office changes include new council

The Advisory Council is looking for members or organisations to participate.

Paula Vennells, chief executive of the Post Office, said: “Following our separation from Royal Mail, this is an exciting time for the Post Office as we build a customer focussed, multi-channel retailer with a powerful public purpose.” He stated around 18m people use 11,700 Post Offices and thousands use postoffice.co.uk every week.

The Advisory Council will play an important role in reflecting views and wants to hear from people who want to influence Post Office Ltd’s future.

The council will be made up of between 20 to 30 members to provide a mix of people. It will meet three times a year from March 2014 and membership will be voluntary. Applications close on January 31.
