National Postal Forum Latvia Post visit to Danbury by Marc Dunnard
On the 21st of April, the CEO of Latvia Post and representatives from our Latvian partner RECK visited Danbury. Dennis and the senior leadership team all took time out to welcome the visitors, who devoted a full day of their schedule to spending time with us. There were very positive discussions on the current European mail marketplace and what is driving decision’s around future technology within the national posts. A highlight of the visit was a factory tour conducted by David Chastain, which left the visitors extremely impressed with our organization and our extensive capabilities. Latvia Post already has an installation of a BlueCrest TrueSort parcel sorter and we hope to work more with them in the coming years as they develop their future strategy. A huge thanks to all the Danbury team who supported and or took part in the visit, especially Kimberly Stokes for pulling everything together.
HEROIC MOMENTS - Always be ready. Last month, we experienced a medical emergency with one of our own at our Baltimore, MD office. A member of our production factory team experienced an event that caused him to collapse and stop breathing on the factory floor. The team around him reacted swiftly and effectively to provide CPR to restore his breathing and immediately called for emergency services. He was kept stable until paramedics arrived, who eventually took him to a local emergency room for care.

We’re happy to report that he has been treated and expects to make a full recovery. The entire team worked together to provide correct care and took necessary actions that saved the life of a member of our BlueCrest team. We want to congratulate and thank the Baltimore team for ensuring that this did not have a dire end. As we reflect on “what if’s”, it is important to always remember that emergency situations can occur at any
time to family, friends, and strangers around us each day. We hope that when this occurs, those around that person know how to respond and are ready and prepared to act quickly when seconds matter. We want to encourage everyone to set personal goals to participate in common sense periodic first aid and emergency preparedness training so that if an emergency arises, you can also be ready to help those in need. - by Rob Stone
