Published: 17 July 2009 By MoneyhighStreet Staff 2 Comments
With the launch of Growth Bond Issue 9, the Post office is offering savings rates up to 4.3% AER.
The minimum investment for the Growth Bonds is £500.
The Bonds offer savers a fixed interest rate over a define period:
- 3.85% gross/AER – 1 Year
- 4.15% gross/AER – 3 Year
- 4.30% gross/AER – 5 year
Available for a limited period, the Growth Bonds can be obtained at all UK Post Offices, or by telephone or online.
Director of savings and investments at the Post Office, Richard Norman, said ‘For savers who do not need immediate access to their savings, the new Post Office Growth Bonds offer a guaranteed return at a competitive rate.’
The Post Office Growth Bonds are provided by the Bank of Ireland.
Does anyone know how to contact the elusive Richard Norman, alleged Head of Savings at the Post Office. Their HQ denies all knowledge. I want to contact him to make him aware of the appalling customer service, but like so many execs he hides behind his call centre.
I have just found your comment asking how to contact Richard Norman at the Post Office. I was on the internet trying to do find a way of doing exactly that ! Did you manage to get hold of him and if so how?
His organisaion has messed me about and wasted my time . I wan’t to speak to him and “waste” some of his time letting him know that my view is that his organisation is a shambles. The closest I have got so far is his Press Dept in London and the Cusomer Care Dept in Bristol.I did speak to Fiona Duffin in Belfast on 1 occasion but she has since avoided me.I was trying to open an online bond but I suspect the organisation is too stupid to be given any of my money….unfortunately I already have a bond !!! I am prepared to spend a lot of time trying to get hold of him. I suspect he may be based in Welwyn Garden City.
A few years ago a member of staff at HBOS did give me Andy Hornby’s prvate office Tel No on an anon basis so that I could tell him he was ruining what had been a good bank. That was a few years before the credit crunch . Unfortunately I was unsuccessfull in stopping him trashing the bank. Still I felt better for having given his private office a surprise even though I didn’t get to speak to him directly.
