The Cheque Is In The Post - I Promise!

The postal system in the local area of our Head Office in Nantwich has been thrown into complete chaos. Atlas have had instances of both post sent to us and items that we have attempted to post either going completely missing or being seriously delayed. Local residents and businesses have made an avalanche of complaints to Royal Mail since they closed their Crewe sorting office as part of their £2bn investment in modernising their operations. Postal workers have admitted that they are close to breaking point. The Post Office are reviewing their delivery routes and hope to resume a normal service soon whilst promising that they are doing everything to minimise disruptions.

We ask our customers and suppliers to be patient with us during this period. Where possible as part of our green environmental policy we try to communicate electronically but where we have to rely on the postal system we hope you can appreciate that this matter is out of our control. If you fear that we may not have received something that you have sent please give Ruth Doe a call. Alternatively, 21st Century technology has proved itself more reliable than a 19th Century postal system and if you would like to talk to us about enabling your business to pay by BACS then don’t hesitate to give us a call!

You can read more about the disruption by reading the Crewe Chronicle’s news article.
