Interrupting your Council Intros again to introduce our Managing Director, Suzanne Rae. When the PTS Council expertly steers the society into a new direction or asks the Team to speed up, Suzanne is the power that turns it and moves it! Suzanne and her team are the reason that the PTS and Stampex keeps pushing forward, keeps evolving, keeps collaborating - for our members around the globe, the trade, and the hobby. One member said to us “If you’re a member of the PTS, it’s like you have Suzanne on your business team too. That’s worth a hell of a lot to us.” Suzanne says: “I couldn’t ask for a more inspiring and supportive Council to be reporting into, and a more professional, passionate, and hard working team to be leading. 2024 brings with it even more projects and change all aimed at best supporting and promoting our members and the hobby. It is a privilege to be able to work with and represent our members to celebrate their hard work and commitment to philately each and every day. Philately never stops, and nor do we. The PTS is in its 95th year, but it’s the future we look to, not the past. Look for the Shield and know those who carry it are invested in our journey.”
