“… the different ways, in which
their lives were wrecked over so
very, very many years.
I am more sorry than
I can say that, despite
serious efforts on my part
to get to the bottom of
what was going on, I did
not succeed in doing so
during my four years
at the post office
and, therefore, the suffering
of those affected was prolonged.”

She’s been described as the Post Office executive who knew more about the Horizon IT scandal than anybody else.
Angela van den Bogerd personally oversaw complaints about Horizon problems since 2010 and was part of a mediation scheme that was supposed to get to the bottom of why so many subpostmasters were being accused of theft.
But she defended the Post Office until the bitter end, even as late as 2019, during the High Court class action which Alan Bates and his group of fellow postmasters won.

‘HOW Could You Not Have Known?’ | Former Post Office Boss Paula Vennells Grilled At Horizon Inquiry
22 mei 2024
Former Post Office boss Paula Vennells is quizzed today on her role in the Horizon scandal.
The disgraced ex-chief executive is beginning her three days of evidence to the Horizon IT inquiry amid claims she covered-up the Post Office’s knowledge of bugs in the faulty accounting software.
The inquiry is shown text messages between Ms Vennells and former Royal Mail boss Dame Moya Greene, thought to be from around January this year, in which the latter says: “I think you knew” about the problems with the Horizon system.
Asked why she does not answer Dame Moya’s question about how she could not have known, Ms Vennells tells the inquiry today: “I didn’t not answer that question; I was very concerned because I was aware that it was not good practice to be exchanging texts in the middle of an inquiry.
“It wasn’t that I should or shouldn’t have answered her question.”
