Watch RMtv

In next week’s RMtv programme we’re at Weston-super-Mare delivery office, where colleagues are helping to deliver Tracked 24 parcels posted into our network later for next-day delivery, with the roll-out of Later Acceptance Times.

We have the headlines from our latest trading update, and we tell you about a new employee share plan that gives you the chance to invest in Royal Mail shares.

Later Acceptance Times      

To help our customers post later into our network for next-day delivery, the rollout of Later Acceptance Times for Tracked 24 has begun in more than 180 delivery offices.

This means we can accept items into our distribution centres later into the evening, up to 1.30am.

This is a significant element of our agreement with CWU. It involves colleagues from across the pipeline working together and is a great example of how together we can meet the modern demands of our customers.

Also in the programme:

• Pensions – Royal Mail and CWU have held a joint meeting with pensions minister Guy Opperman MP and shadow pensions minister Jack Dromey MP to discuss our Collective Defined Contribution (CDC) pension schemes campaign.

And finally, to comply with our operator’s licence requirement and internal policy, all drivers must carry out a vehicle check. Every driver has a paid amount of time allotted to their duties to ensure these checks are completed.
