It’s been an interesting morning…it’s not every day that you’re asked to take part in a TV feature for the local news!  We were approached yesterday by ITV West, who asked if we’d be willing to talk about how the Royal Mail strikes are affecting small businesses like ours.  Our Twitter followers will know that this is a subject very close to my heart, so of course we agreed.

It wasn’t quite as nerve-wracking as I’d imagined, but I suspect that I ummed and erred far too much! I’m hoping that they’ll do some cut and paste editing to make me look more articulate!

Here’s hoping that a resolution to the dispute is found very quickly.  The internet shopping industry needs a reliable postal service, and Royal Mail is best placed to provide that – and to reap the financial rewards of being delivery provider of choice.  Prolonged strike action compromises Royal Mail’s lead position, and will make it ever harder for them to recover the trust and custom of British business.

We are committed to maintaining the delivery standards we’ve built our business on. We have strong courier relationships that have been in place for years, so we’re confident that we can work through the dispute with very little disruption to our customers.
