Dan Matthews

Said the following about Daran Turner:

“Daran has been a solid member of the team since I took over the area in 2018 and has been supportive the whole time whilst I have managed him. Daran has been successful in becoming my deputy whilst continuing to deliver stability and positive change on the line he manages. Daran has never avoided any challenges and is always wanting the best for his team and colleagues around him.

Daran has worked hard to make improvements and cares passionately about his staff spending hours of his own time supporting them in person or on the phone.

The group went through a period where we had management gaps, and with a colleague and I, he managed far more stations successfully and kept upbeat throughout the challenges this presented for him and his family.

Daran is well respected by his team and his colleagues, I can't thank him enough for his support and want him to be recognised for all his hard work over the last couple of years.“
