Thursday, 30 November 2023 13:53

Keith Taylor is thrilled after being voted Jersey Post's Postie of the Year 2023.

The St Brelade postman, who has worked for the service for 25 years, says it is nice to be recognised and appreciated.

"I love my job, being out in the fresh air, seeing people, chatting. You really get to know people."

Islanders commented that he is a 'top man' and 'always has a smile.'

He has also been described as 'hard-working and reliable' and 'always goes the extra mile.'

Keith still hasn't found a permanent spot for his award.

"At the moment, it’s by the TV, so the cat can’t get it!"

More than 300 islanders got involved and voted for their favourite postman to receive the award at the People's Awards.

Postie of the Year represents people who have gone above and beyond for their customers.
