About The Private Postman
Built on 10 Years at Royal Mail.
Backed by the UK’s Most Accurate 1-Second GPS Proprietary Leaflet Delivery Tech.
The Private Postman was founded in 2009 by Mark Redmond after spending over a decade working as a London Royal Mail postman. Delivering week in, week out, Mark learned the realities of door-to-door distribution on the ground—knowledge that became the foundation of our entire company.
Simply put, we know this job inside out.
Leaflet distribution is physical, demanding work. We don’t rely on gimmicks or make unrealistic claims about runners or joggers covering your routes. Instead, we focus on consistency, strict quality control, and direct marketing strategy. Before Royal Mail, Mark spent 10 years in festival and promotional marketing—meaning we don’t just deliver leaflets, we help you structure campaigns that get actual responses.
Our journey from a postman’s £20 vision to delivering over 1 million leaflets a week has earned widespread recognition, culminating in being named Best Marketing & Advertising Firm of the Year by the GPMG Excellence Awards.
Our story and industry standards have also caught national media attention across the UK:
- Metro.co.uk — “I was fired from my £16,000-a-year job — now my business makes £850,000 a year”
- The Sun — “I left £16k-a-year postman job to set up my own business with last £20 now it makes £850k a year – YOU can do it too”
- Money.co.uk — “Meet Mark: the former postman transforming leaflet distribution with precision mapping and custom-built software”
- Featured on BBC1 and BBC Radio 5 Live

“Standard GPS systems have a margin of error of 10 to 15 feet and only update every five seconds—useless in London where a front door is often 10 feet from the pavement. That’s why we built our own proprietary tracking software, CORE One Step®, to give our clients 1-second single-step delivery verification.”
Mark Redmond, Founder & Managing Director
Today, Mark and his wife, Operations Director Valentina Redmond, lead a dedicated team backed by 251+ hard-earned 5-star Google Reviews (that’s a 98% 5-star rating).
By pairing our live 1-second GPS tracking with high-precision mapping that excludes non-deliverable housing and council estates, we save London businesses 30–40% on wasted print while delivering maximum campaign ROI.

What’s most effective, Solo or
Shared delivery?
Clients occasionally ask about “solus” or “solo” distribution, where only one leaflet is delivered at a time.
It is important to consider that even if only one leaflet is delivered through a letterbox, other leaflets and mail delivered by Royal Mail or third parties will land on that same doormat throughout the day.
Your leaflet will almost always be seen alongside other mail. Furthermore, most “solo-only” companies start their rounds at 8 AM, meaning their leaflets are covered over by mid-day deliveries long before the householder arrives home.
That is why 90% of our clients choose our shared delivery service. However we also run solo delivery if required.
Strategic Delivery Times
We run two targeted delivery windows per day and start our rounds later in the day. This ensures your leaflet lands on the mat closer to when the householder returns home—giving you maximum visibility while offering a cost-effective, high-ROI campaign.
