First Scottish Group Limited

On 3 July 2009, Postcomm granted a postal operator's licence to First Scottish Group Limited.

Under the new licensing framework that took effect from 1 January 2006 and was amended in January 2008 and further modified in December 2008, the licence:

• allows First Scottish Group Limited to provide all types of postal service;
• is issued for a rolling ten year period; and
• requires the company to comply with codes of practice on mail integrity (safety and security of the mail) and common operational procedures (designed to ensure the multi-operator market works well in practice).
