Royal Mail is the national postal service of the United Kingdom. Royal Mail Holdings plc owns Royal Mail Group Limited, which in turns operates the brands "Royal Mail" (UK letters), "Parcelforce Worldwide" (UK parcels) and "General Logistics Systems". "Post Office Ltd.", which provides counter services, is a wholly owned subsiduary. Royal Mail Holdings plc is a public limited company where the Secretary of State for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform owns 50,004 ordinary shares plus 1 special share, and the Treasury Solicitor holds 1 ordinary share.[1]
Historically, the General Post Office was a government department, which included the Royal Mail delivery business; but it became the Post Office, a state-owned corporation, in 1969.[2] Most of the duties were passed to Consignia plc in November 2001,[3] and the old Post Office was dissolved in 2007.[3] Consignia plc changed their name to Consignia Holdings Public Limited Company, then Royal Mail Holdings plc, the current name.[4]
Unlike other former state monopolies such as The Stationery Office, British Gas and British Telecom, Royal Mail was not privatised in the 1980s and 1990s, but remains a limited company wholly owned by the UK government.
Royal Mail remains responsible for the universal mail collection and delivery service in the UK. Letters are deposited in a pillar or wall box, taken to a post office, or (by arrangement) collected in bulk from businesses. Deliveries are made at least once every day (except Sundays and Bank Holidays) at uniform charges for all destinations within the UK.
According to its annual report for the year ended 26 March 2006, Royal Mail delivers 84 million items every working day and has a network of 14,376 post offices. Revenue for the year was £9.056 billion, and profits before tax were £312 million. Since this time, profits have dropped year on year – £233 million in 2006/7 falling to a £10 million/annum trading deficit in 2007. In 2008, the BBC reported that Royal Mail's trading position had worsened dramatically to an annual loss of £279 million/yr in financial 2007. As this met government targets, the CEO's remuneration increased to a record high.
The Royal Mail traces its history back to 1516, when Henry VIII established a "Master of the Posts", a post which eventually evolved into the office of the Postmaster General. The Royal Mail service was first made available to the public by Charles I on July 31, 1635, with postage being paid by the recipient, and the General Post Office (GPO) was officially established by Charles II in 1660.
