Please don’t let us have to go through your colleagues

Having an email signature is like handing a person a business card every time you send an email. You wouldn’t give out a blank business card, would you?

Email signatures are an extremely valuable tool and are very simple to implement. For more information on how to create an email signature please email the Communications team.

Reasons why email signatures are important:

• It helps identify who you are and where you are from
• It makes it easier for people to contact you
• It helps to create a sense of trust, if the recipient recognises your full name or company, they’re more likely to reply

What should your email signature include?

• Full name
• Job title
• Company name
• Company reception number (for generic emails)
• Direct dial and mobile number (if applicable)
• CCG website
• CCG address
