Here comes Santa Claus

While Rikki Webb, Operations Support Director was getting stuck in helping the operation at Romford Delivery Office, there was a postie who stood out to her.

Mike Jones not only delivers mail but also spreads Christmas cheer in a truly magical way.

Mike is known around the office and beyond for his uncanny resemblance to Father Christmas. In fact, he doesn’t just look the part – he is the part! Outside of his postal duties, Mike takes on the role of Father Christmas for local community events, bringing joy to children and families in Romford and surrounding areas. His costume? Absolutely top-notch – as you’ll see from the photos, there’s no expense spared in creating the perfect festive look!

Recently, Mike brought his Christmas spirit into the office, donning his full Father Christmas attire. The atmosphere was filled with holiday cheer as the team gathered for some fun shots, creating memories to share with friends and family this Christmas season.

But that’s not all – Mike’s festive fame is spreading beyond Romford! He has his very own TikTok channel, where he shares his seasonal adventures, and he’s even been spotted in other social media posts from members of the public who spotted the ‘real Father Christmas’ delivering their parcels. It's safe to say that Mike’s presence is making spirits bright, both on and off the clock!

Mike’s dedication to bringing joy to others reminds us of the impact we can have in our communities. His festive energy and goodwill are a perfect reflection of the heartwarming spirit that defines Royal Mail.

Merry Christmas one and all!
