"I #lovemyuniform because I look smart and represent Royal Mail with the utmost professionalism and respect. I’ve had countless of my customers on my post route comment on how amazing I look with my Royal Mail uniform and they all love it.

I’m known locally and on BBC radio 1, and by Royal Mail mangers in my area as the cowboy postie with all the energy who always has a smile on my face no matter the weather. This is the best job I’ve ever had and I hope to be in this for many years to come. I am the most colourful and charismatic postie my local area has ever seen."

"For me, wearing the Royal Mail uniform makes me feel proud… my grandad was a Postie, so it feels like I’m following in his footsteps. We do an important job, provide a service to those who can’t get out very easily, delivering parcels, letters and bills, along with collecting them.

Everybody knows the Royal Mail uniform and people tend to trust us. We have been going for hundreds of years, so it’s nice to work for one of Britain’s longest services and wear the uniform with pride.

But wearing the Royal Mail uniform also means a lot more, you’re a community icon. You get to know your customers, a friendly smile and a little chat goes a long way, especially to those people who are alone, you might be the only person that they speak to all day, or even all week.

So for me, wearing the Royal Mail uniform isn’t just a job, it’s a uniform that makes you part of the community, it makes me feel proud and I wear it with pride."

"As being sun sensitive, allergic to the sun doesn’t stop me doing the job I love outdoors in all weathers! And wearing the uniform knowing I’m helping the public get there’s parcels and letters in time gives me great satisfaction! And also the uniform provides me with protection from the harmful sun rays and people often stop to ask me why I am are fully covered up even in summer times so I’m also educating the general public in why I’m covered so spreading awareness at the same time and encouraging others follow their dreams, think out the box - illnesses and allergies shouldn’t stop you doing the job you love. We get one life so do your best live to the full and spread positive energy and be proud of your uniform in whatever you do as we all are heroes."

My uniform gives me a sense of pride to wear to feel important whilst doing my job."
