In terms of Postal Executive members assigned to the Department, from 1^st December, Bobby Weatherall will be Andy’s substitute and will lead on day-to-day enquiries in respect of HR policies and will support Andy on all other matters within the Department as and when required.  Alan Tate will support Andy on Fleet in the main and on HR policies when appropriate.  Mole Meade will continue to provide support on Post Office and Royal Mail Admin matters.

Regular meetings will be scheduled by Andy for all Representatives from the various grade groups / companies.
