Pontesbury is a charming village situated approximately 5 miles south of Shropshire's historic town of Shrewsbury. This bustling village has over 1, 000 years of history and boasts a selection of local ameneties offering a variety of goods and services to the close-knit community. Pontesbury is regarded as a highly desireable village in which to live with excellent schools, a vast selection of homes and easy access to both Shrewsbury and the large Midlands motorway network. The Post Office is situated in the heart of this superb village occupying a prominent position from which to operate a thriving business whilst allowing scope for diversity. OVERVIEW:
The Post Office has been under the current ownership since 1991 and is being offered for sale due to the current owners wishing to retire. The current Post Office salary is on course to exceed £70, 000 this year. A wide variety of services is provided to include Motor Vehicle Taxation and a full range of Royal Mail and Parcelforce Services. The local Royal Mail Sorting Office is also housed here and has been rebuilt during the last 5 years. There are 6 lccal postmen operatingfrom the sorting office who are employed by and are ultimately the responsibility of Royal Mail reporting to the Shrewsbury Office. The supervisory role of the Subpostmaster accounts for approximately £12, 000:00 of the quoted salary. In addition, the business currently generates a further £7, 500:00 p. A. Approximately through the sales of greetings card and stationery. The current Subpostmaster has recently become responsible for providing OUTREACH SERVICES to five other local villages in the surrounding area and it is expected that this will account for £20, 000:00 ofthe above quoted salary. This involves supporting two "PARTNER" Sites in a supervisory/administration role with the actual staffing and transactions being undertaken by the "partners". The three "HOSTED" sites are operated by the Subpostmaster - two operate from established retail businesses in their own right and one operates from the local Church Hall. The mobile Post Office equipment used for the Hosted Sites is easily transported and allows the Subpostmaster (or member of staff) to undertake the full range of Post Office transactions.
