TNT Post, the leading competitor to Royal Mail in the UK postal market, is pleased to announce the appointment of Jim McCabe as New Business Development Manager. Based in Manchester, Jim will report into Andy Goddard, Managing Director of TNT Post North and will be responsible for developing new business initiatives in the north of England and growing the company’s rapidly expanding client base. He will manage a team of 6 staff.
Jim joins TNT Post North with more than 27 years of experience working in the mail market. Previously, Jim spent 25 years at Royal Mail working in a number of roles, most recently as strategic relationship manager where he was responsible for managing the agency agreement between Royal Mail and Spring which is 51 per cent owned by TNT Post. He also has experience working in the United States mail market, one of the world’s largest postal markets.
Andy Goddard, Managing Director of TNT Post North commented:
“TNT Post North is going from strength to strength as more and more local businesses realise the range of benefits and savings we can offer. Jim brings valuable expertise to the company and we are delighted that he has decided to join us at such an exciting time. His experience in the postal market will stand him in good stead when growing TNT Post’s portfolio in the North.”
Jim McCabe commented on his appointment:
“TNT Post North offers a unique and dedicated service to its customers and has experienced a rapid level of growth since its launch 12 months ago. I am very excited at the prospect of being part of this exciting development story and drawing upon my own industry background and skills to contribute to its expansion in the North over the next few years.”
Jim’s appointment comes as TNT Post’s business continues to thrive in the North following its launch a year ago this month. The company now boasts a customer base of more than 170 local businesses, with the majority now receiving TNT Post North’s Premier Flex, a two to three day postal service, with Royal Mail continuing to carry out the final mile delivery to customers’ homes nationwide. Current customers come from a range of sectors and include Liverpool FC, Hawkshead, a mail order clothing company and Candis Magazine, a monthly subscription magazine for women.
The Premier Flex service is specifically tailored to meet the needs of small to medium sized businesses or companies that have lower business mail volumes and offers valuable benefits to local businesses such as: flexible pick up times, cost savings, use of tracking systems that enable improved visibility and management, and a fast and reliable high level of service.
