Our postmasters and customer-facing colleagues play a crucial role and it’s important we simplify our business to better support them and the customers and communities we serve. As a result, we have made the decision to sell our broadband and phone business to Shell Energy so that we can focus on our core business of letters and parcels, everyday banking services, bill payments and travel money.

This is not a decision we have taken lightly, and we have selected Shell Energy as we believe they are best placed to continue offering you great value and the high-quality service you’ve come to expect from the Post Office.
