Longest-serving postie

Feel-good Friday with a special film.

Robert Hudson is our longest-serving postman and will this year celebrate a remarkable 60 years of service to Royal Mail!

‘Rocky’, as he is known to most of his colleagues, began his journey with us in December 1964 at the age of 16 as a Messenger Boy at Whitechapel Delivery Office.

He progressed to an outdoor postie role and further night shift roles, and has now spent 50 years working during the night.

Hear about Robert’s time at Royal Mail in this short video.

We know there more colleagues out there with intriguing career journeys. If you know of someone who deserves the spotlight, please share on Workplace or email your news to rmcommunications@royalmail.com.
