A number of excellence awards were presented to MaltaPost staff members in recognition for their hard work and outstanding performance in 2017 during the company's annual staff meeting.

In his address, MaltaPost's chairman Joseph Said presented the 2017 financial and quality results. He also highlighted the company's commitment to enhance its services to facilitate eCommerce business and identify new opportunities for new investment and further areas of growth. As eCommerce traffic continues to grow at significant rates, the company's strategy will necessitate closer concentration on this area of business and the related logistics market.  

MaltaPost's CEO Joseph Gafa', who presented the awards, congratulated the winners while thanking all the company's staff for their hard work throughout 2017.
