Employee references: thirdpartyenquiries@royalmail.com

email them with your personal details and RM pay number, work location and role etc (they'll use it as confirmation) and then as far as I know they send you one.

Its a very basic reference though, date started, finished and reason for leaving - thats it.

If this works can you pop back here and advise members of what happened and add any corrections that you feel may help them.

Ok Ive been offered a couple of jobs now one including the NHS want a reference contact. They want an actual persons name for a reference. Ive given them the email address as above but not sure they will accept it. The other role I have been offered a role with a company does the employment checks and I only put down HR's number and fax number on the pay slips. Its very stressful, even trying to get a reference off a large company :cry
