Bring Back Our Post!!

Royal Mail strikes have come to an end today. Or at least that's what we thought. Now there are wildcat strikes and more walkouts planned.

After four working days without any post, we're starting to realise how vital it is to the business and we're in a better position than most.

All sorts of businesses which rely on Royal Mail to survive are being seriously affected. For example, one of our clients handles direct mail campaigns and the strikes are not only affecting their business but their client's businesses as well, as campaigns are being delayed.

On a personal note, many people across the country are waiting for cheques and travel tickets to arrive, which will probably be delayed further because of the back-log. Here at Gemini, Ruth has had to pay extra to have post redirected for another month after moving house, in case items have been delayed.

I understand that postal workers aren't happy with their working conditions but the general public and the UK's businesses can't change this and it seems like we are the ones most affected. We need our post!
