Dorset, 20/11/2024 – imageHOLDERS, a leading provider of self-service kiosk solutions, is proud to announce its new partnership with Post Office for the rollout of self-service kiosks in Post Office branches across the UK. This collaboration will support Post Office’s aim to enhance customer service, increase accessibility, and streamline transactions at Post Offices nationwide.

Together, these partnerships ensure that Post Office remains at the forefront of innovation in customer service by providing streamlined, responsive solutions.

Enhancing Customer Experience with Cutting-Edge Technology

“We are thrilled to partner with Post Office to help deliver more efficient and accessible services to customers across the UK,” said Richard Satchell, CEO of imageHOLDERS. “Our self-service kiosks will not only reduce wait times and improve customer satisfaction but will also ensure that these essential
services remain inclusive to everyone, regardless of their abilities.”

A Nationwide Transformation

The nationwide rollout is set to begin in Spring 2025, with self-service kiosks being introduced in a select number of Post Office branches before expanding to more branches across the country. This partnership signifies a major milestone in both imageHOLDERS’ and the Post Office’s ongoing missions to modernize service delivery, enhance customer experiences, and meet the changing needs of today’s consumers.

“Post Office is committed to enhancing customer service across the network, working in partnership with our Postmasters and retail partners,” commented
Neal Newbrook, Propositions Manager, Post Office. “Introducing these new self-service kiosks will make it easier and more efficient for customers to access the Post Office mail products they require.
