Deregulation of Royal Mail
Following the deregulation of the Royal Mail back in 2006 – the market was opened up to competition. As from 1 October 2011 Postcomm, who were the people responsible for regulating the postal service handed over to Ofcom, a name most of us know. Times are changing and there are more companies opening up to compete with Royal Mail – and Royal Mail is still the main provider for mail services in the UK. And it’s not just about where you buy your stamps, these companies will collect, sort, frank and deliver your mail for you.
