Chair Julie Edge makes a statement in Tynwald
The Isle of Man Post Office is set to report a loss this year, for the first time in its history.
Chair Julie Edge revealed the news in Tynwald this afternoon (Tues 17), in a statement on the company's five-year strategy.
Mrs Edge told members a decline in demand for its traditional services, in favour of online transactions, is partly to blame.
