MELKSHAM Post Office has collected a top award at a national Post Office awards ceremony in London.

The team from Melksham were recognised as top performers in the Travel category for directly managed branches at the 2017 Post Office Network Sales Awards.

The ceremony celebrates the hard work, community spirit and excellent levels of service provided to customers by teams and individuals working in over 11,600 branches. It was held on Saturday 10 June.

Commenting on the award, Kirsty Amponsah and Mandy Rumble from Melksham Post Office at 31 Church Street, said: “We’re really proud of our achievements.

“We all work really hard to offer our customers a great service especially with our travel products and we’re pleased the Post Office has recognised our efforts.”

Kevin Gilliland, Post Office Chief Executive Retail, said: “We are transforming our network and making our services better for customers. Thousands of branches are now open for longer, from early into the morning until late in the evening, seven days a week.

“People working in branches such as Melksham are key to our transformation programme and to ensuring our branches thrive at the heart of communities across the UK, not just for today’s customers but for future generations too.”
