Post Office Limited, commonly known as the Post Office, is a retail post office company in the United Kingdom that provides a wide range of products including postage stamps and banking to the public through its nationwide network of around 11,500 post office branches. Most of these branch post offices (c. 99%) are run by franchise partners or by independent business people known as subpostmasters; the remaining 1% are directly managed by Post Office Limited (these are known as Crown post offices).[4]
As of January 2024[update], the Post Office is the subject of an inquiry into the errors in its Horizon IT system which led to several hundred postmasters being wrongfully prosecuted for theft,[5] in what has been described as one of the biggest miscarriages of justice in UK legal history.[6][7]
