His mother, Anita, was postmistress before him
Popular postmaster Nik Ingle has celebrated his 30 years’ milestone for operating Dew Street Post Office at 85 Dew Street, Haverfordwest, SA61 1SY.
Postmaster Nik Ingle said: “I never have the Monday blues. I always enjoy coming to work. No two days are the same and I love serving the community. The people here are fantastic and I have got to know people well and my children went to school locally.”
Previously his family had a Post Office in Caernarvonshire, then the family moved to Haverfordwest in 1987 and his mother, Anita, became postmistress for Dew Street in 1988, before Nik took over as postmaster in 1994.
At the age of 84, Anita, still likes to keep busy and she enjoys making handmade cards, which Nik, sells in his shop alongside his retail range of cards and confectionery.
Nik has loyal staff working alongside him – Ann and Helen. They managed to keep the Post Office open throughout Covid and the community was very grateful that they could still access vital services and to stay local.
With recent bank branch closures or other banks only open very limited hours deposits and cash deposits for personal and business banking has gone up threefold. More people are also buying foreign currency and the versatile travel money card.
Dew Street Post Office offers a wide choice of courier services for delivery and collection alongside traditional Royal Mail and Parcelforce services – namely EVRI, DPD and Amazon.
Nik said: “Customers like the choice of providers and they can use price, speed, level of compensation and the contents to be sent to decide what is right for them. People also really like to be able to collect parcels from the branch as they are securely stored until the customer collects, rather than having to stay home to receive the parcel.
Post Office Regional Manager, Lynn Lewis, presented Nik with his Post Office 30 Years’ Long Service Award.
Post Office Area Manager, Ryan Leonard He said: “Nik has loyally served this Dew Street community for three decades. I really want to thank him for this committed service. He really cares about his community and he is clearly at the heart of his community. Nik runs a 1st class Post Office.”
