Grant Says
Peak is a hugely import time for us as a company.
It's also important for our customers, it's also important for our customers' customers.
It's going to be busy and we love the fact it's going to be busy, so of course we're going to prepare.
We're opening extra capacity. We're taking on thousands of extra vans. We're taking on thousands of extra people.
This peak is hugely important for a number of reasons.
You know, we've gone through a difficult period. Obviously we were impacted by covid and of course, last peak was also impacted.
But this peak is our chance to show our customers that we're back. Royal mail delivering for millions of customers over that important period, and that's why we need everybody now to focus on making sure our customers get what they paid for this peak.
All of our staff across the business, focus at this point in the year. So we're asking everybody, make sure your office is ready, make sure you're returning all the trays and the Yorks, get them back in time please and also make sure they're having a bit of fun with each other as well because it's a great time for you to celebrate what a brilliant company we are.
Peak is going to be probably wet, it's sometimes cold.
We know what when we deliver peak for our customers, they really appreciate what we do.
So it's just about making sure you follow all the processes. Making sure you're safe when you go out and we look after each other.
We have been trusted for 500 years to get parcels and letters to people for Christmas, let's be honest, we've done it many, many times in the past and it's important that after all the troubles we've had in the last few years that we show all of our customers, we are back, they can trust Royal Mail and we really do deliver Christmas
