Postman Joe retires after 44 years of doing the rounds in south Warwickshire towns and villages
AFTER more than four decades serving communities in south Warwickshire, postman Joe Trevorrow made his last round on Saturday (29th July).
For the first 19 of his 44 years with the Royal Mail, Joe, 68, had rounds in Leamington and Warwick, but for the last 25 years has been delivering to Newbold Pacey, Ashorne, Bromson Hill and Redlands.
Joe, who lives in Kenilworth, said his retirement plans are to relax and please himself, enjoy his music and catch up with family in his native St Ives.
He was given gifts and good wishes from residents in the villages he served.
Ashorne resident Trish Handsley said: “Joe has been a fantastic postie, always going the extra mile for his customers.
“From delivering strangely addressed mail to popping things behind a plant pot or leaving with a neighbour, he’s had a can-do approach to his deliveries that mean we rarely have to visit the ‘sorting office’.
“During the Covid lockdowns he kept his eye on the elders of our community, passing on messages and bits of shopping as well as post.
“A year-round wearer of shorts and sporting his signature long ponytail, he’ll be greatly missed in his red van around our little parish.
