Hailsham Post Office staff would like to extend compliments of the season to customers in advance and wish them a very happy and healthy Christmas.
Steph Stephens, manager of the town’s post office which opened in July 2019, is pleased that five and a half years on, the post office is even more firmly established as a vital part of town life and continues to offer an important service to residents.
“From the whole team here at Hailsham Post Office, we would like to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a fantastic start to 2025,” said Steph. “We’ve had another good year and I’m grateful to the Hailsham community for continually praising staff for their excellent customer service and the fulfilment of the post office’s broad range of services to residents and business, including banking facilities.”
Some recent feedback received from Hailsham customers via social media or the Town Council’s website:

“The staff are knowledgeable and professional.”
“A real asset to our High Street.”

Town Clerk and Postmaster of the high street post office, John Harrison commented: “The post office service is going really well since it re-opened in 2019 and people still praise the Town Council over five years on for taking over the franchise and saving the community facility. Thank you to the public and my colleagues at the post office for their continued support.”
“Looking ahead into next year, the Town Council will continue to take action to raise awareness of the availability of post office banking services for residents and businesses, as more bank branches are scheduled to close, including two in Hailsham next year.”
“In addition to banking services being available at the post office, LINK, the UK’s cash access and ATM network has recently confirmed that Hailsham will receive a banking hub next Spring, which is excellent news for the town’s residents amid the forthcoming bank branch closures.”
“In closing, Steph and her team at the post office and I wish customers a very happy Christmas and best wishes for the New Year.”
