Hello everyone

[PistolPete]

I'm due to start at HWDC in a couple of weeks and read somewhere that there is an onsite gym. Is this correct and if so is there a joining fee and monthly subscription? Also what other facilities are there at HWDC such as a canteen etc? All replies gratefully received.

I'm really looking forward to joining RMG and starting a new career.

Cool, I had my interview in February and just last week been told I passed my interview but still waiting on HWDC vacancies and will then in touch I worked in HWDC but not sure about gym I know there is for Royal Mail staff but canteen is pretty cool got pool tables nice sofa on one side other side is large seating area and food is alright quite a variety cooked food and also snacks or sandwiches at reasonable price although many ppl say its expensive and prefer getting there own food from home as there are fridges and microwave about 6,7 so it's all good
