In February 2019 representatives of the 1team at Vodafone Retail Team were proud to be presented with a certificate of accreditation for Hospitality Assured by David Fry, Head of Property.
The Retail Team have specifically pursued Hospitality Assured to identify opportunities for improvement as well as their key areas of success.
During this six month assessment process, representatives from Hospitality Assured spent time with each member of the Retail Team, visiting stores with them and Vodafone Regional Managers, as well as meeting Divisional Manager, Mark Mackenzie at the Notting Hill store and speaking directly with store Managers and staff at approximately 30 stores, gaining an understanding of the kind of service they experience from the Retail Property Team.
‘We are delighted to have been awarded this accreditation and proud to learn that we have scored considerably higher than the usual first time entrant for this category’. Members of the team unable to attend on the day to receive the certificate but who played a huge part obtaining the accreditation are: Steve Ashurst, CSM North, Jackie Lockyer, Support Manager and Julie Fine, Admin Support
“It is a tremendous accomplishment by the 1Team at Vodafone Retail Engineering Services to achieve Hospitality Assured accreditation across the entire Vodafone Retail Estate. This successful outcome is the result of the team working collaboratively and embracing business and service excellence into heart of their operational activities.” – Max Lawrence & Heather Lishman, Directors, Hospitality Assured
