Can this Entrepreneur save the postal service?
Poole, Dorset, United Kingdom. http://www.ukpostbox.com
A 30% sell-off. Huge pension deficits. The use of email rising to unimaginable levels. All signs point to a faltering Royal Mail, and a troubled postal service. However, a light at the end of the tunnel has emerged, in the form of a revolutionary new concept from Canadian-born entrepreneur, Allan Chester, who lives and works in the United Kingdom.
Frustrated by his inability to control his post whilst away, Allan Chester started UKPostBox.com, for UK residents who needed a way of sending and receiving their mail without actually being in the country. His members may be travelling across all four corners of the earth, but Allan believes his site provides a safe and affordable means of controlling their post.
To some, paper mail is going the way of the dinosaur – but to Allan, it is very much alive. “There will always be a need,” Allan said. “I don’t think that we will ever see a time when we rely completely on email. What about documents that need to be sent via recorded post, such as business, financial and legal papers? I believe that my company's services will change the way we all view and respond to our postal mail, alongside our email."
Allan finds that people who sign up for an UKPostBox account are able to manage their mail easily and effectively. By harnessing the availability of the Internet, members can view all of their incoming post online, from their homes, offices, cafes and even mobile phones. If desired, their UKPostBox account also allows the customer to read, recycle, shred or respond to the letter from anywhere in the world.
Allan said: “This is a postal service that allows people to travel and move freely around the globe, without restriction. It’s completely secure and I know that it will save traditional post from becoming extinct. After all, I have seen the way that this concept has completely changed the way my customers live, do business and keep in touch with their families.”
