Several years ago, a lovely man dropped by to discuss potential distribution services for THE WROXHAM & COLTISHALL BOOK. Michael appeared highly energetic and when we discovered he was a retired postman for Royal Mail, we offered him a part-time role to distribute our magazines to residents in the Buxton and Stalham areas.
Michael was sprightly and always super-keen to get on with the job; so much so, he would often drive to the printers to pick up his stock as soon as they came off the packing line. Literally ‘hot off the press! ’ It’s fabulous to witness such enthusiasm and spirit – he really has been a joy to work with!
We support Michael’s desire to spend more time with his wife who is experiencing ill-health and wish to publicly thank him for being so efficient. He will be hard to replace, that’s for sure. We’ve never needed to recruit for a distributor before, however a rare opportunity with flexible hours exists.
Should you know of someone courteous, reliable, and physically fit looking to work part-time 7 or 8 days every other month carefully distributing magazines to residents in Stalham and surrounding areas, please point them our way!



Distribution of the magazines typically takes place during the last week of the month preceding each bi-monthly edition and the first week of the new month. Delivery of the next edition for August/ September will commence during the last week of July.
