Ministers from the Department for Business and Trade have met three times with representatives from Royal Mail since September 2025.
Earlier this month, I met Royal Mail’s CEO, Alistair Cochrane. The Secretary of State subsequently met Daniel Křetínský, the CEO of EP Group, which owns Royal Mail’s parent company, International Distribution Services (IDS).
In November 2025, I met Mr Cochrane and Martin Seidenberg, the CEO of IDS.
