Said the following about Diego Fuentes - **HAS LEFT**:

“Diego has demonstrated over the past couple of years that he is THE BEST recruiter Virgin Trains had in a very long time, always innovative and with a great eye for true talent, people who are bursting with energy and working hard to achieve best possible result for the business.

The number of people Diego recruited have made the difference to Virgin Trains Business, delivering brilliant customer service and going above and beyond their day duties to achieve best standards with in the railway industry, also the number of people that progressed to become Station Managers, Train Manger, Team Leaders and this is mainly due to Diego being very proactive when picking talents it is just something out of this world.

Diego is always actively seeking to enhance recruitment events by involving front-line staff into relevant recruiting events and give them opportunity to experience "other side” of the event.

Willing to hear any feedback what went well and where to improve and continue to develop recruitment events to even better standards.

Diego is well respected among staff members for everything mentioned above and also his bubbly and outgoing personality, smile on his face and always being approachable for a quick chat around any Carrier guide that one may need.

Diego definitely deserves to win this award for all his hard work, enthusiasm and passion that he constantly delivers on a day to day basis here at Virgin Trains.“
