Look out for this year’s NFSP Annual Review<br />
We look back at a year which was, quite<br />
rightly, dominated by the Horizon Inquiry and<br />
set against the struggling economy. As we look<br />
to ensure a bright future for postmasters and<br />
the post office network, we reflect on the work<br />
that the NFSP has undertaken on behalf of its membership<br />
over the last year, highlighting achievements and what we are<br />
working towards going forward.<br />
