Mr Kingsland, managing director at Australia Post East Dubbo, said he was chosen from among about 4000 Australia Post branches for just over a week in London. Tickets into a raffle were awarded in relation to SIM card and phone sales, Mr Kingsland said, and his name was drawn out.
“It’s a little bit unreal. I had forgotten we had entries in the competition to start with. It was a shock to get the phone call,” Mr Kingsland said.
The managing director and his wife will be in London for the royal wedding. While Mr Kingsland said he wasn’t invited to the wedding, he was going to the theatre and planned to take a ride on the London Eye.
It’s been about 11 years since he was last in England, Mr Kingsland said. However, his wife had to organise a passport after hearing they had won the competition.
As the travel date drew closer, Mr Kingsland said his excitement was building.
