Talking Retail Grocery and product news for independent retailers
The group has worked closely with colleagues from Post Office after the fire on Saturday 20 June, which resulted in the temporary loss of the only post office service in the market town.
Two pop-up post office counters will be situated on the ground floor in the menswear department of the store. The service will be run by CT Baker Budgens of Holt’s existing post office staff.
The service will include mail services, withdrawals, deposits and payments, bill payments, and travel insurance referral service. Further services will be available at post offices in nearby Sheringham and Cromer.
Jane Gurney-Read, managing director for CT Baker Group, said: “I have been acutely aware that many people have been rightly concerned at the loss of the only post office in Holt, and I am pleased that following positive discussions with Post Office, we have been able to reinstate the service very quickly.
“Our post office staff are looking forward to serving their customers again, and providing a vital service to our local community from within Bakers & Larners of Holt.”
Opening hours for the post office service will be 9.30am-5pm, Monday-Saturday.
