Recruitment
“Bernadette started her railway career at Wimbledon before moving to London Waterloo as a Team Leader. Bernadette then moved back to Wimbledon as a Duty Station Manager where she helped lead the team through a number of ups and downs including the dark days of a high number of fatalities, but also the better days such as Wimbledon tennis fortnight.
During Wimbledon tennis, you would always see Bernadette there with the rest of the team front of house welcoming all our customers through the station on their way to a great day out. She was also involved in lots of charity work during her time at the station. Her commitment to her role and the customers and communities she serves is one of the things that makes her such a great manager, and her hard work in both this and her role demonstrated
When the opportunity for a new Station Manager for Staines, (which also includes managing Windsor and Eton Riverside) it was clear that Bernadette would be the ideal candidate. Very quickly into her time at Staines she was involved with the Queen's funeral which was great practice as she took the lead for the King's Coronation this year.
As well as these crucial national events, as Manager for Staines, Bernadette is responsible for all our customers that visit Thorpe Park daily and more recently their Fright Night events. As part of this Bernadette ensures all of her team are ready to deal with any situation possible, particularly as this involves hundreds and hundreds of excited young people coming through the station on their way to the park.
Bernadette is a hardworking and reliable team player. Whatever the challenge, the work she does is done to a high standard, with care towards her team and our customers. She is a key part of the SWR stations team and would be a very deserving winner of the Rail Manager of the Year award.“
“She is hard working and she is dedicated. She is committed to the values of South Western Railway.
It will be good for her to get recognition for all the hard work she has put in over the years.“
“Under Bernadette's leadership, she has managed to help Staines Station win the Best Medium Station award. Also as she is also the manager for Windsor & Eton station, they did a fantastic job for our late Queen's funeral and our King's coronation. These deeds are just the tip of the iceberg.“
“Bernadette helped me a lot during some trying times especially with the sudden death of my father and some health issues. She helped me prepare for am interview during her spare time.
Bernadette will always answer whenever somebody call even if she is on leave and will give advice. I strongly believe she deserves this award for all the hard work she puts in on a daily service.“
“I just wanted to write and say a huge thank you from all at telent for an absolutely fabulous evening. The whole event was so beautifully staged, the entertainment was amazing and it ran perfectly. I know what a huge amount of work goes into organising an event on this scale and am delighted for you and the team for how well it all went on the night. Please can you pass on our thanks and congratulations to your whole team.”
