What, this old thing?

We are looking for frontline colleagues to attend evaluation sessions and provide feedback on some sample uniforms.

The purpose of the sessions, which will be hosted in Tyneside, Bristol and Birmingham, are to give uniform wearing colleagues from all operational functions the opportunity to see and feedback on the uniforms presented by the prospective companies bidding for our new uniform contract.

Bidders will demonstrate specific garments, designs, fabrics and features and how they are suited for our people.

The sessions, which will be highly interactive, present an exciting opportunity for colleagues to get an insight into, and influence, how our uniform might look in the future.

Attendees will be asked to complete a questionnaire at the end of the sessions and return them before leaving, lunch will also be provided.

Bidders will take away feedback on suitability of their range and potential areas to improve if shortlisted.

Volunteers will need to be released by their managers and will be expected to attend all three of the below sessions:

• Monday 11 March - Birmingham mail centre, St. Stephens Street, Birmingham B6 4AA
• Thursday 14 March - Bristol mail centre, Gloucester Road North, Filton, Bristol BS34 7ST
• Monday 18 March - Tyneside mail centre, Lindisfarne House, Earlsway, Team Valley Trading Estate, Gateshead, NE11 0YY.
