Royal Mail Communication:

The Communication Workers Union (CWU) has called on its members who collect, sort and deliver parcels and letters to take strike action on 26 and 31 August and the 8 and 9 September 2022.

We’re really sorry for the disruption that this strike action is likely to cause to you. We want to reassure you we will do everything we can to minimise disruption and get our services back to normal as quickly as possible.

Royal Mail has well-developed contingency plans, but they cannot fully replace the daily efforts of its frontline workforce. We will be doing what we can to keep services running, but customers should expect significant disruption.

How does it affect your PDC delivery?

PDC UK is reliant on Royal Mail for the majority of the parcels sent out every day. You can therefore expect disruption and extension of delivery capability during and immediately after those strike days. Royal Mail should provide further details and updates in the following days. Here is their official communication page.

Everyday we hear about being more eco-friendly and sustainable. No big surprise when we know 7 billion inhabitants withdraw what they need from the finite resources available to us all. A resolution that has no downsides and that everyone can participate in is to increase our diligence around sustainability.

In the events and conferences environment, how can you put sustainability at the heart of everything you do? We take our environmental credentials seriously and have long recognised the vital importance of sustainability, not just in how we operate but also in the solutions we develop for our customers.

For many years we have been proud members of Sedex, a not for profit membership organisation dedicated to driving improvements in ethical and responsible business practices in global supply chains. We also put sustainability front and central when it comes to new product development. Whether it’s a reusable badge such as our chalkboard badges that you just wipe clean to re-use, or our range of lanyards made from both 100% recycled materials and sustainable bamboo, we aim to make it simple for you to makeyour events sustainable. If you have resolved to make your events greener then drop us a line and we’ll show you how.
