Postal events and speeches
In order to listen to the views of our stakeholders - which include postal customers, Royal Mail, new postal operators and postal sector trade unions - Postcomm organises a variety of events each year, including seminars and conferences on postal issues, as well as regular Roadshow visits to locations throughout the UK.
For more information on any of our events, please contact Jessica Collett (email link).
Postcomm staff also speak at various other events and conferences, giving us an opportunity to explain our policies and listen to views on a wide range of issues - including the universal service obligation, protecting customers and introducing competition.
