During the periods of lockdown the Post & Portering team operated an ad-hoc service based on needs at the time. With the return of colleagues to campus demands on the service have increased.
As a first port of call, colleagues are invited to view the team’s web pages Post & Portering Services – Home (sharepoint.com). These provide service information and access to the forms required to request services. All forms can be filled in electronically and emailed direct to the team.
The recent portering backlog has been reduced to a manageable level and requests for portering work can be submitted again via Planon as normal.
Goods inward operations are unchanged as they have been more constant in recent months.
The postal system was adjusted during lockdown to accommodate what could be undertaken effectively in the circumstances. This adjusted service will continue but regular times have been scheduled again:
- Delivery of post between 08:00-10:00
- Collection of post from 13:00 –14:00 – please ensure your mail is ready to be collected at 13:00 otherwise it may be missed
- Very urgent and small amounts of post needing to be sent can always be brought to the post room up to 15:00
In addition, please note that there will be a change to the Royal Mail 1st class and bulk posting artwork from 1 November 2021. Information and the artwork can be found on the customer web pages.
Due to the mixture of on-site and home working it will help the Post Room team’s planning if departments can confirm their presence on campus (if they have not already done so). This will enable post and parcel services to be provided on all days required. For portering services, please ensure you are on site if requesting work.
As well as the web pages you can call the Post Room for further information on internal extension 22368 or email on [email protected].
