Year 11 students visited Greenford Mail Centre as part of a career visit to a local employer. During the visit, students and staff toured the site (production floor and warehouse) and saw various sorting machines on the production floor, such as parcels, letters and large letters. Students had the opportunity to meet with people working in different areas (such as engineers, machine operators, drivers and parcel sorters) who explained about their job roles and experiences.

Students were keen to complete the fact sheet about Royal Mail during the tour of the site. Students were excited to see the Royal Mail lorry and enjoyed sitting in it. Students posted a letter to themselves. We all enjoyed the lovely lunch and gifts provided by the Royal Mail staff. It was great to visit the mail centre. Many thanks to staff at MHS and Royal Mail who supported this visit.
