KEY ACHIEVEMENTS
 Transformed many services that had been receiving very poor audit reports, including car park

problems; changed breakdown and cash handling processes. Good attention to detail and strong
planning and operational management ensured that audit results moved from ‘unsatisfactory’ to
‘good’ within a matter of months.
 Tasked with improving attendance. Invoked attendance management guidelines; observed return
to work interviews and provided feedback and coaching; analysed trends; supported team
members on long term sickness through occupational health; improved manual handling training;
offered phased return to work programmes. This resulted in the average absence being reduced
from 10 days to 3 days per head per annum. The organisational unit attendance records became
the ‘best in the district’.

o Highway design and quality assurance, capital schemes using government grants and
regeneration of derelict properties (awarded by ABSE for delivering excellent service).
