Prospectus is delighted to be partnering with The Postal Museum, in the recruitment of their new Head of Marketing and Development. The Postal Museum is one of the newest and most exciting museums in London. It opened in 2017 and the museum is already established as a must-visit destination with award-winning experiences and marketing campaigns. Alongside hands-on exhibitions exploring over 500 years of British social and communications history, visitors can experience a subterranean ride through the tunnels of the old Post Office Underground Railway – Mail Rail.
