General Discussion
Just wanted to say well done to Roger for his 40 years public service. The recognition he's received in the local press is thoroughly deserved:
Exeter Road Post Office postmaster Roger Honey is celebrating an amazing 40 years’ service with the Post Office.
Mr Honey was presented with a 40-year Long Service Award from Gary Adderley, Post Office Agents Contract Manager. The 71 year old community stalwart, originally from Winkleigh, worked in his family’s footwear business before moving to Dawlish in 1962.
Mr Honey embarked on his Post Office career at the age of 18 when he started working in the family run Exeter Road Post Office for his mother. He took over as postmaster of the branch in 1974 following his mother’s retirement and has remained at the helm ever since.
Exeter Road Post Office, Exeter Road, Dawlish, EX7 0AQ, has been a focal point of the area for over 50 years and is greatly appreciated by the local residents.
Roger said: “I am delighted to receive this long service award. When I took over the Post Office from my mother in 1974 I never thought that I would still be postmaster 40 years later. I have worked in this Post Office for a total of 53 years and I still enjoy the day to day interaction with my customers, so I have no plans to retire just yet.”
Mr Honey, has varied interests and particularly enjoys reading, driving and travelling.
40 year Long Service Award, You only get this by offering a good Friendly and Efficvent Service.
Maybe other Business can learn from this.
Keep it up Roger only 10 more years till 50.
