Mayor offers season's greetings to town's posties

Rugby Editorial 11th Dec, 2018   0

SEASON’S greetings have been offered to the hard-working staff at Rugby Delivery Office by the town’s Mayor.

Mayor Tom Mahoney was shown around the office by Delivery Office Manager, Simon Kirkland and was introduced to the postmen and women who are pulling out all the stops to sort and deliver mail in Rugby over the busy Christmas period.

He presented them with a Simple Thank You certificate – part of his campaign to highlight the work of individuals and organisations who serve Rugby’s communities – on behalf of the people of Rugby for the service they provide.

He said: “At no other time is the hard work and dedication of postmen and women clearer than during the festive period. There is a huge amount of effort and dedication that goes into delivering a first class Christmas all over the country.




“It was great to meet the team here at Rugby and thank them for the extraordinary lengths they go to ensure Christmas parcels and cards are delivered to loved ones on time, as well as thanking them for delivering our mail services all through the year, in all weathers.”

Mr Kirkland said: “Our postmen and women are working extremely hard to deliver Christmas parcels, cards, letters and parcels to people in Rugby. We are grateful that the Mayor visited the office to see our operation and to support the team.


“We’d like to remind our customers to post early and to ensure all their mail is posted by the recommended dates, so that friends and family can enjoy their Christmas greetings and parcels. If everyone uses the postcode on every item of mail, this also helps us greatly in the job that we do at this very busy time.”

The last recommend posting dates for Christmas are Tuesday December 18 for Second Class, Thursday December 20 for First Class, and Saturday December 22 for Special Delivery.
