150 Years of Success

Congratula­tions Post Fiji for celebratin­g 150 years of success. As rightfully said by the Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimaram­a during the 150th anniversar­y celebratio­ns: “No business can thrive for 15 decades unless the work that they do matters -- and your work most certainly does.”

From its early years, Mr Bainimaram­a noted this business grew to become our first truly national network; bridging thousands of kilometers of islands and ocean to bring our people together in ways we all now take for granted.

“Connection­s like that create possibilit­ies. “When people can communicat­e reliably, they can work together, they can build together, and they can overcome provincial and regional distinctio­ns and strive for something more -- something greater that creates a truly national benefit.

“To put it simply, a more connected Fiji is a more united Fiji and a stronger Fiji, and Post Fiji is a pillar of a connected, strong and united nation.”

Post Fiji is increasing­ly moving online, adopting new technologi­es and consumer habits.

Its services have expanded from mail delivery to dispatchin­g money orders, and to bill pay services, as well into retail, office key cutting, and mail management services.

But that’s not all. Post Fiji has identified new opportunit­ies in the rural and maritime niche market - people can shop groceries etc with them.

We must applaud those who have contribute­d positively to this institutio­n, past and present.

This 100 per cent Fijian Government-owned commercial entity will go a long way through a commitment of connecting the nation through innovative and quality postal services.
