Press release date: 25-Jan-2007

Mail Boxes Etc. (UK) Ltd., (MBE) is offering sub postmasters and independent retailers an opportunity to provide alternative postal services under a new franchised concession. This could create postal services in areas where they did not exist previously and would also enable sub postmasters facing closure to stay in business and continue to serve their local communities.

MBE is an experienced franchisor with a rapidly expanding network of more than 100 High Street-based centres in the UK that specialise in a wide range of postal, communication and business services for local companies and members of the public.

The new franchise proposal offers a proven business solution that mirrors the existing MBE model and could make excellent use of former post office premises. Outlets in former post offices and convenience stories will handle post and parcels and also offer a wide range of other popular services currently offered by the Post Office network, including for example, foreign currency exchange, bill payment services and money transmission.

Chris Gillam, Mail Boxes Etc. UK Managing Director, commented: “We see this as a real opportunity for both sub postmasters and convenience store owners to provide vital services to their local communities. In many areas across the nation, post offices combined with shops are the hub of the community - a local post office is much more than a place for people to buy a stamp."

“We believe that our model will be well received. As full members of the British Franchise Association, we have the necessary credentials to demonstrate our commitment to ethical franchising. We have a long track record of successful franchising in the UK, with considerable practical experience, expertise and knowledge of the sector.”

MBE’s new developments in this area will be spearheaded by Gary Coyle, a rural postmaster for the last twenty years. He is the founder of Postmasternet Ltd, a company that successfully courted big business to introduce new income streams for ailing post offices.

Gary is already well known and respected for his energetic campaigns to protect post offices and their services. His experience and knowledge will be invaluable as the driving force for the venture.

He said: “I have worked very closely for some months with MBE to develop a franchised concession model that will provide shop owners and sub postmasters with a viable alternative post office solution to offer their customers. We are confident that our proposition will appeal to sub postmasters, especially those who want to stay in their own area and are entrepreneurial. There are limitless opportunities, particularly in places with large numbers of small businesses and people working from home.”
