Ger Dawson has retired after more than 45 years of dedicated service to the postal network.
During his time at the Westport Post Office, Ger worked both as a clerk and in the sorting office at The Mall in Westport.
A century-long legacy came to an end when An Post separated its retail and delivery services. The delivery operation moved from The Mall to a new, state-of-the-art Delivery Service Unit (DSU) at the Westport Industrial Estate. Ger oversaw the smooth transition of this major operation, which saw all local delivery offices — including Achill, Ballycroy, Louisburgh, Aughagower and Killawalla — relocate their sorting facilities to the new Westport DSU.
Ger’s personal approach and the respect he showed his colleagues helped create a positive and supportive workplace. He is wished a long and happy retirement by all his past and present colleagues.
