Staff at a Post Office in Canary Wharf have been recognised at a national awards ceremony.

The branch, in Chancellor Passage, was crowned “Best Branch for Mails” at the awards in Camden.

Bhatari Patel, who has been “subpostmistress” at the Post Office since 2004, said: “It is a real team effort.

“Everyone is really driven and there is a personal incentive award scheme for my staff for achieving targets,” she added.

The team now hope to win a further award next year, after a spate of successes recently.

The branch has consistently been nominated and won awards at national Post Office Awards in the past few years.
