Congratulations to Andy Mellors on his appointment as Managing Director of the new South Western rail franchise. http://www.firstgroupplc.com/news-and-media/latest-news/2017/04-07-17.aspxIt has been a pleasure working with Andy in his role as Engineering Director and deputy MD at GWR▸ , and I look forward to meeting him where appropriate (which might turn out to be sooner rather than later, bearing in mind that franchise's requirement on Wilton and Southampton - Swindon) in the future. |

Would be good if someone was appointed to head up customer complaints!  |

Would he be directing "transformations" in the sense that applied in the theatre of the 17th-19th centuries? Wikipedia sums that by "They may rely on both stage machinery and lighting effects for their dramatic impact." I take it both smoke and mirrors were among the methods used. |

Despite the title, Richard Rowland is not responsible for Customer Support or the contract with Capita. It falls under the Sales and Marketing directorate, which as of this week is now heading up by the new Sales and Marketing Director, Phil Delaney. |

So, GWR▸ has a director of Customer Service who's not in change of dealing with customer services? Perhaps that's why that part of the business is in such a mess!

In a former employment, the customer service director was responsible for front line, the third party relationship director was responsible for outsourced service.
We outsourced to Tata, who were often more helpful than our London based in house team!

Yup, exactly the same at GWR▸ - Richard Rowland is responsible for front line staff (stations and on train) whereas the Capita contract falls under Sales and Marketing as the contract is more than just Customer Support, it also covers telesales, web support, disabled assistance, lost property... |
