SHARE OUR TAKE THAT STEP<br />
CAMPAIGN ON SOCIAL MEDIA<br />
Please don't forget you can share our Take That<br />
Step campaign videos and images on your social<br />
media channels.<br />
<strong>The</strong> campaign aims to encourage customers to<br />
buy their postage stamps from post offices instead<br />
of online. We also want to<br />
highlight the sense of<br />
community and vital<br />
services that your business<br />
brings to your local area.<br />

Introducing Directors and Officers Insurance<br />
(D&O) for sub postmaster companies<br />
D&O insurance covers the cost of compensation claims made<br />
against directors and supervisory staff of your business for<br />
alleged wrongful acts, that could include breach of trust or duty.<br />
Rather than protecting the business, D&O protects the<br />
individuals who have management/supervisory responsibility.<br />
It provides protection for claims including breaching health<br />
and safety laws, misadministration of the company pension,<br />
employment disputes or errors in financial reporting.<br />
In these situations the penalties can be significant, including<br />
fines, disqualification or even a prison sentence. D&O will help<br />
you defend your corner, while covering legal and compensation<br />
costs.<br />
This cover is generally only available for Limited Companies.<br />
