Keith Williams appointed Deputy Chairman
Keith Williams, Chair of the Audit & Risk Committee, is also being appointed Deputy Chairman with immediate effect. Keith is increasing his commitment to Royal Mail.

As Executive Chairman of British Airways until 2016, Keith has a very strong track record in operational transformation, digital strategy and industrial relations, including pensions.

Sue Whalley to leave Royal Mail at the end of the year
We have announced changes in the organisational structure of Post and Parcels UK. After 12 years’ service, Sue Whalley, CEO, Post and Parcels UK and the Board have agreed that she will leave Royal Mail, step down from the Board with immediate effect and transition her responsibilities by the end of March 2019. Rico Back, Group CEO, will assume commercial responsibilities for Post and Parcels alongside his existing Group role and overall UK strategic responsibility. Operational responsibilities will be taken on by Stuart Simpson, CFO, and previously Deputy Chief Operating Officer. Sue will work alongside Stuart Simpson on our Christmas operational programme and will assist the Company with ongoing regulatory, legal and other matters, as appropriate.

Stuart will continue to report to Rico Back and be supported by a senior operations executive, whose appointment will be announced in due course.

Speaking about today’s announcement, Rico Back said:
“Sue Whalley has worked tirelessly for the company and I have worked closely with her for a number of years. My executive colleagues and I very much appreciate the work that she has done for Royal Mail and the positive change she has brought to many areas in the business. Sue has all our best wishes for the future.”

What do they all actually DO anyway? Mail gets collected, sorted then delivered. Honestly, how hard can it be? So he used to work for BA. That'll stand him in good stead for royal mail......NOT.

Looks like top management are having a bit of a shake up, probably down to the falling share price. Just remind me though what tireless work did Sue Whalley actually do??

‘’Keith is increasing his commitment to Royal Mail. He is in the process of reviewing his external commitments, and any changes will be announced as required’’

Lol so instead of doing a Monday he might do a Tuesday morning as well? Probably has his hands in other companies as well absolutely milking it whilst we’re out here in the s**t weather killing ourselves to make ends meet.

But it’s ok big keith is increasing his commitment, we’re saved peeps.

Royal Mail: Hey Pathfinder, we’d like to offer you the job.

Pathfinder: Great, thanks! Let me just see if I can review my other commitments first so I can give you 50% instead of 35%.

Wish I said that at my interview.
