Said the following about Roy Brentnall:

“Since Roy started in post on 23rd April 2018 as a stores controller within Tottenham Delivery Unit he has had a hugely positive impact. He has completely turned around the state of the stores, where stock checks were sitting at around 75%accuracy and since he has started, are now always within a few percent of 100.

This has massively improved production and taken stress from the sections - they no longer have to worry if the parts they need are actually in stock!

Roy has achieved this through working collaboratively with all the sections and proactively chasing errors. His positive impact has set a fine example for other stores controllers within Tottenham DU which has resulted in improvements elsewhere as well.

Outside of his day job, Roy has also taken on the role of person responsible for fire safety for the depot and actively promotes a health and safety culture by both reporting and closing out any raised safety close calls.

For someone without a railway background he has adapted amazingly well and has been a pleasure to work around - he is also a truly lovely guy.

With Roy’s positive impact, he has subtly making every section’s life slightly easier. His sunny disposition really lifts everyone else he is around.“
