The Special Delivery Service, commonly abbreviated as simply SDS, is a courier and logistics service and a division of Royal Mail that is based at the sorting office in Pencaster. Unlike the parent company Royal Mail, the organisation specialises in special deliveries, hence its name. The CEO of the company is Mr. Brown.
The service is based on the real life delivery service and subsidiary of Royal Mail ParcelForce Worldwide and La Poste's DPDGroup, which specialise in the quick deliveries of parcels to other parts of the world or within the UK.
Employees[]
In the Pencaster-Greendale sector of the service, Pat Clifton is the postman for the service and Ben Taylor is in charge of sorting all the special deliveries. The head of the service based in Cardiff, Wales is Rowena Roberts.
