Abu Dhabi: Emirates Post Group (EPG) said it is continuing to lease space in post offices to private companies that provide related and complementary products and services. This is part of the group’s plan to make post offices one-stop shops for various public services.
Since the launch of the strategy in early 2012, a number of companies, including travel agencies and business centres, have launched their operations from post offices.
In a statement on Monday, EPG said a number of companies are also in the process of signing up for the rented spaces in post offices, including some banks, to enable Emirates Post customers to pay for their shipments and the surrounding community to do cash transactions.
“Emirates Post seeks to widen the basket of services available to our customers by signing up with private companies. We are witnessing strong demand for the spaces in post offices. However, we are selective in deciding the type of businesses that would be allowed to operate from our premises. Each applicant is considered on a case-by-case basis,” stated Ebrahim Bin Karam, chief commercial officer at EPG. The company added in the statement that companies wishing to lease spaces in post offices should contact the Commercial Department of Emirates Post Group.
