Royal Mail Sports Foundation

Royal Mail

Royal Mail is our letters and packages business, covering the whole of the UK for our one-price-goes-anywhere universal service. Our strategy in Royal Mail Letters is:

Maximise profitable revenue by meeting customer needs through innovation and efficiency.
Deliver market-leading quality of service.
Be the UK’s lowest-cost operator with world-class productivity through investment in a modernised environment.
Deliver change through engaged, flexible and competitively paid people.

Each working day we collect items directly from our 115,000 post boxes and around 12,000 Post Office® branches. These items pass through our network of more than 60 mail centres, 8 regional distribution centres and around 1,400 delivery offices. Then our fleet of around 30,000 red vehicles help us to deliver them to their final destination.

We use postcodes to identify where an item is going, helping us to sort mail efficiently and deliver it faster. We make deliveries six days a week by around lunchtime, although many customers receive their mail much earlier than this, and we aim to complete rural deliveries by around 3pm.

Mail data tools
We also provide business customers with a range of mail-related data tools to improve their marketing performance and increase the effectiveness of mail as a communication medium. Through more efficient database maintenance and well-targeted customer contact management, we can help customers achieve better response rates and a higher return on their investment.

Online shopping
Home shopping is providing a new opportunity for us, with online retailing estimated to reach 30% of retail sales by 2012. Over Christmas 2009 we delivered a record breaking 155 million items ordered online – 15 million more than the same period in 2008. Books, videos and DVDs remain the favourite low-ticket items, but bigger-ticket items are becoming more popular, such as clothing, which is expected to account for 10% of total online sales by 2012.

We work with retailers to ensure they are well placed to capitalise on this new retailing channel and can deliver their goods to their customers.We also give retailers the option of having a customer’s items delivered to their local Post Office branch for collection, if that’s more convenient.
