Mailrooms - the gateway for terror?
The Imagination Gallery, 25 Store Street, South Crescent, London WC1E 7BL
April 29, 2003

Pitney Bowes Management Services (PBMS), a world-leading provider of integrated mail and document management solutions, claims that the mailroom is the primary communications gateway for a company and could be a leading target for terrorist attacks. PBMS will be running an event to discuss the implications of recent terrorist threats for the corporate mailroom at The Imagination Gallery in London on 29 April.

The objective of the event will be to provide companies with an overview of the increased risk to their organisations as well as an insight into the practical steps, which can be taken to minimise the threat in the context of handling and distributing mail. The event will also discuss the importance of recognising how peoples' changed behaviour in a crisis should be considered in organisations' crises planning and management.

Speakers at the event will include:

• Bruce George, Chairman of the House of Commons Defence Committee and Labour MP for Walsall South
• John Kitchen, Business Development Manager, Royal Mail
• David Leslie, Head of Business Continuity Management at Nottinghamshire County Council, Public Sector Business Continuity Manager of the year and Chairman of the Business Continuity Professional Issues Group of the Emergency Planning Society
• Donald Archer, Manager of Customer Education for Pitney Bowes Inc. and voted Mail Manager of the Year by the US Postal Service in 2001

Managing director of Pitney Bowes Management Services, Ashley Bailey, said: "Secure mail handling and processing has long been an expertise of PBMS. Given the current climate, we would like to share our and others' expertise in this area, to initiate a debate and raise awareness of the importance of mailroom security with the ultimate goal of reducing any risk associated with potential biological or terrorist attacks."

Ashley Bailey, Bruce George and David Leslie are available for interviews.
