You are Mr Leighton: I am Allan Leighton. I am the actually taking them and putting them through the Chairman of the Royal Mail. letterbox at the end of the day? Mr Crozier: I am Adam Crozier, the Chief Mr Crozier: We are still doing the final mile. Executive. Mr Smith: I am Alex Smith. I am the Director of Q5 Chairman: I find lot of resentment among the Strategy. unions at the level of work they were having to do compared with the work your competitors were Q2 Chairman: Can I begin by making a comment, if doing in delivering into the sorting oYce. They felt I may? We got some excellent evidence from the they were doing all the hard work and their unions, some excellent evidence from Postcomm competitors were doing all the easy work. Is that too. Your evidence to us was a photocopy of your not fair? submission to Postcomm. It is a very interesting Mr Crozier: I can understand the point of view, but document, which I have actually read, but I was a bit the fact is that the issue we have with access business, surprised that you did not target it to us. Were there as we have with a lot of the ways in which any particular issues you think the Committee competition is coming in, is that clearly the should be focusing on that are distinct from your competition do not look to target social mail, clearly evidence to Postcomm? the competition do not look to target unprofitable Mr Leighton: Probably not. The thing is, there is so mail, what they look to target is the mail that makes much stuV floating around at any one time, as you money and leave the Royal Mail with the mail that can imagine, about this particular issue. We are very does not make money. The thing about access consistent, and I think it is often more important to arrangements is that they can make money on those. be consistent than tailored, so we try and provide the It is very diYcult for us to take much of that cost out same information for everybody so that everybody of the business once we have lost that business, and is looking at the same interpretation of the same therefore it really does hit our bottom line. So I can things, and so this was done by design. understand why people feel like that, but it is a fact and it is here to stay, and obviously part of our job Q3 Chairman: That is looking at the past. Let us is to try and combat that. look at the future, shall we? The new access regime has been going for some time now; I have been to see Q6 Chairman: Of course, if you put the prices up too its operation locally in my own constituency. Do you much, if you were able to put the prices up too much feel your charges to competitors are about right for for that part of the work, it would encourage your the access regime? competitors to develop their own distribution Mr Crozier: Yes, I think they are. As it currently networks sooner as well? stands, we have lost around one billion items Mr Crozier: Indeed; I think it is a fallacy that people annually to access, which is actually about the level seem to have that somehow we will lose just that Postcomm in their predictions are suggesting we upstream business and that the Royal Mail will might lose by 2009–-2010; so that would suggest that always do the final mile for everyone everywhere, clearly the market has opened up a great deal further because our belief is that that is not what will than the regulator expected and has been very happen, that in fact competitors will actually set up Ev 2 Trade and Industry Committee: Evidence 18 October 2005 Royal Mail Group delivery forces, for instance, in major city centres, Chairman: Can we move on to the future of the which is where there is a lot of money to be made, Universal Service Obligation, which I will ask Sir and simply put the rest of the mail, the more Robert Smith to deal with. unprofitable mail, into the Royal Mail for it to deliver, and that is what we call “cream skimming”, and that is one of our biggest fears on the regulatory side, that that will happen. Q9 Sir Robert Smith: Obviously of great concern to Q7 Chairman: Despite the fact that all the people the whole Committee but especially those who provide the access mail to you do is basically representing large rural areas, remote areas and print it, put into envelopes and deliver it to your post deprived urban areas is the maintenance of a oYce, sorting oYce, where it is then sorted by universal service and that everyone in the country machines, hand sorted and taken out in vans and gets access to the same service at the same price from bicycles and delivered, and then, of course, all the Royal Mail.

    Royal Mail plc Annual Report and Financial Statements 2015-16 Celebrating 500 Years of Royal Mail Royal Mail has a rich and varied history, characterised by a tradition of service and innovation spanning 500 years. For five centuries, our postal network has been connecting families and friends, powering business and driving innovation across the country. In 1516, Henry VIII knighted Brian Tuke, the first Master of the Posts. This act was the catalyst for the creation of the Royal Mail postal service, as we know it today. Tuke had the influence and authority to establish key post towns across the country and set up a formal postal network. Since its royal beginnings, the postal service has continued to deliver the nation’s mail for 500 years, under 21 different monarchs and through two World Wars, employing hundreds of thousands of people along the way. To mark this momentous anniversary, Royal Mail has launched a special website featuring the people, objects and events that played a key role in the development of the world’s first national postal service. Visit: www.royalmailgroup.com/500years Within the pages of this report you will find ‘then and now’ image captions showcasing how Royal Mail has evolved over the last 500 years.

  • POSTAL SERVICES COMMISSION Annual Report 2007/08 HC
    ANNUAL REPORT 2007/08 ABOUT POSTCOMM Postcomm – the Postal Services Commission – is an independent regulator. Our job is to ensure the provision of a universal postal service and to further the interests of postal users in the UK by introducing choice through competition. We were set up by the Postal Services Act 2000 and are classified as a non-ministerial Government department. Our policies are steered by a board of independent Commissioners, headed by our chairman, Nigel Stapleton. Between them they have considerable experience of competition, business, consumer issues, regional matters, UK and overseas mail operations, trade unions, Government and regulation. Postcomm’s vision is a range of reliable, innovative and efficient postal services, including a universal postal service, that is valued by customers and delivered through a competitive postal market. Postcomm has required Royal Mail to continue to provide a universal postal service, has introduced competition and licensed a number of companies to compete with Royal Mail. Because Royal Mail still has a hugely dominant position in the letter post market, we also regulate some of the prices that it can charge and its quality of service. Postcomm is also charged with monitoring and giving advice to Government on the post office network. It does this by making annual reports to the Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform (BERR). POSTAL SERVICES COMMISSION Annual Report 2007/08 To: Rt Hon John Hutton MP, Secretary of State for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform I enclose the Commission’s report for the 12 months ending 31 March 2008 as required by Section 45 of the Postal Services Act 2000.

  • 1 Royal Mail's Response to Ofcom's Consultation on 'Securing The
    Royal Mail’s Response to Ofcom’s consultation on ‘Securing the Universal Postal Service: Safeguard cap for large letters and packets’ Introduction 1. Royal Mail welcomes this opportunity to input into Ofcom’s consultation process on the safeguard cap for large letters and packets. 2. Royal Mail remains disappointed that Ofcom took the decision in March 2012 to extend the safeguard cap to Second Class large letters, packets and parcels<2kg. This response therefore provides further analysis to support our contention that this intervention is not required; along with Royal Mail’s views on the technical questions raised by Ofcom related to the form and structure of the safeguard cap. 3. The key fact remains: Royal Mail is currently [] on Second Class large letters and parcels and more generally this segment of the market is characterised by very low returns for all players. 4. In addition adequate safeguards already exist in this market segment to protect vulnerable groups: i. The universal service obligation already requires that Royal Mail’s prices are affordable, fair and reasonable, and geographically uniform; ii. The continued development of competition in this segment of the market already constrains Royal Mail’s pricing freedom; and iii. There is no evidence to support concerns on affordability (the majority of customers who use these services send only 4 items per annum). As such we do not believe that Ofcom has provided clear evidence to support the need for this additional regulatory invention. 5. Given that this segment of the packets market is evolving rapidly both in terms of customer preferences and increasing competition, Royal Mail believes Ofcom should commit to a formal public review of the continuing need for this intervention to conclude no later than March 2014.
