Nominations for Rail Team of the Year

Marc Costello

Said the following about Customer Relations:

“The customer relations team work tirelessly, often dealing with lots of negativity. They do this with a smile on their face and have managed to keep a perfect score of 100% 20 day SLA response times over the past year. This has not been easy but they work together as a close team to achieve this, whilst also receiving great feedback on their customer feedback following complaints being closed successfully. They are a great team who always go above and beyond for their customers and they really deserve for this to be highlighted across the industry“

Lucy Wootton

Said the following about Customer Relations:

“The Customer Relations Team are a small team that consistently deliver great results and work incredibly well together to ensure that the customer is always kept at the heart of their decisions.

The volumes of correspondence they receive can sometimes be overwhelming considering the size of the team however they always step up and manage the workload effectively and professionally ensuring the impact to the customer is minimal.

Working in Customer Relations can sometimes be quite negative due to the types of correspondence however this team are always so upbeat and positive they are a joy to work with. They treat every letter, phone call, comments form or tweet individually and often go above and beyond to ensure first time resolution and a satisfied customer.

They are the unsung heroes of the company and deserve to be recognised with this award.“

Andy Poole

Said the following about Customer Relations:

“Whilst most managers would be bias for their teams I would hope that my nomination would be considered for the CRCL CR Team.

To a person they put the customer first and constantly meet targets, despite erratic workloads encountered during and following disruption.

Each colleague in the team takes a moment to think about what’s best for the customer and they believe their solution isn’t quite hitting the mark they check with a colleague to ensure the customer gets the best possible service.

The team do not differentiate on channel (i.e. e-mail, telephone, social media etc.) no matter how a customer contacts us the team sustain their high levels of emotional intelligence to resolve customer problems.

A great team to work with, always a smile … couldn’t wish for a better team.“
