The magnitude of the responsibility involved in the safe and secure escort of the nation's classified postal material cannot be overstated and to be involved in the Postal and Courier specialisation for almost 50 years (and counting) is nothing short of remarkable.

There was no doubt 2013 saw the attendance of more courier companies from more regions, large and small than have ever been in one room before.
