Ministers Plan Historic Shake-Up of Post Office Ownership with BCG's Help

Oct 19, 2024, 10:01 AM

Ministers are exploring plans to hand ownership of the Post Office to thousands of sub-postmasters across Britain in a historic shake-up of the 364-year-old institution. The government has engaged BCG, a consulting firm, to assess the viability of mutualising the state-owned company. This move comes in the wake of the Horizon IT scandal, which had significant repercussions for sub-postmasters.
