Politicians praise our first class postal team
A pair of Hamilton politicians paid a visit to the town’s delivery office to see first-hand the operation of delivering Christmas post.
MSP Christina Mckelvie and MP Angela Crawley say they were also at the depot to pass on early season’s greetings to the dedicated and hardworking staff.
Both were shown around the office by the delivery office manager and introduced to the staff, who will be pulling out all the stops to sort and deliver mail across Hamilton in the busy Christmas period.
Ms Crawley said: “At no other time is the hard work and dedication of postmen and women clearer than during the festive period.
“There is a huge amount of effort and dedication that goes into delivering a first class Christmas all over the country.
Following on, Ms Mckelvie said: “It was great to meet the team here at Hamilton and thank them for the extraordinary lengths they will go to ensure Christmas parcels and cards are delivered to loved ones on time, as well as thanking them for delivering our mail services all through the year, in all weathers.”
Stewart Donaldson, Royal Mail delivery office manager, said: “Our postmen and women will be working extremely hard to deliver Christmas parcels, cards, letters and parcels to people in Hamilton. We are grateful that Angela and Christina visited the office to see our operation and to support the team.
“We’d like to remind our customers to post early this Christmas and to ensure all their mail is posted by the recommended dates, so that friends and family can enjoy their Christmas greetings and parcels. If everyone uses the postcode on every item of mail, this also helps us greatly in the job that we do at this very busy time.”
