Our Structure
Post Office Limited is governed by a Board of Directors and led by an Executive Team, supported by a number of specialist committees. Together, they ensure we operate responsibly, transparently and in line with our purpose: to be here, in person, for the people who rely on us.
Our board
Our Board of Directors provides strategic oversight and ensures accountability across the organisation. It includes a Chair, Senior Independent Director, Non-Executive Directors, and Executive Directors. Importantly, two active postmasters are elected by their peers to serve as Non-Executive Directors—bringing real-world insight from the network into board-level decision-making.
Our executive team
The Executive Committee is responsible for the day-to-day running of the business. Led by our CEO and covering a wide range of industry expertise, the Exec works closely with postmasters, partners and stakeholders to deliver our services and drive our strategy forward.
Board sub-committees
There are number of board committees which deal with specific topics requiring independent oversight, including Audit, Risk & Compliance, Nominations of the Board and Senior Remuneration.
Postmaster Non-Executive Director election process
Postmasters play a valuable role in our governance. Every three years, two serving postmasters are elected to the Board as Non-Executive Directors. The election process includes shortlisting, interviews, vetting and secure voting.
