Given that Royal Mail and POL were cut from the same tree I find it highly unlikely that RM’s management culture is any different to POL’s. If this takeover deal is allowed to go through then I can’t imagine the new owner wasting any time in clearing out the whole show and wanting to just build new off the brand and premises. That would be accompanied by changes to services, regardless of the promises made to get the deal through. Doing anything less wouldn’t address the loss making.
