Hire More Successful Leaders Who Stay Longer
20 September 2016UK National Contact Centre Conference 2016
11 November 2016Last week we were back at the Park Plaza, Westminster Bridge for the 2016 UK Customer Experience Awards.
With one of the best views from a hotel lobby in London,(in our opinion), this event just gets bigger each year, with over 800 attendees, there to celebrate improvements within customer experience.
This year, we had the honour of chairing the judging panel for the award ‘Customer Centric – Utilities and Retail’, which featured; Affinity Water, SWR Waste Management, Scottish Water, Clothes2Order, New Look and HSS Hire.
Despite a wide range of sectors and hearing about the challenges and opportunities for sewage pipes, cherry pickers, water leakage, corporate logos on cowboy hats and discount clothing supply chain, each of these companies and teams had worked really hard to improve their customer service, making make their end to end operations truly customer centric.
There were at least three entries which for us, could have taken the win, which in the end New Look did. Well done Louise and team and to all the other entries.
