Taylor Wimpey plcCustomer Relations Manager
Jan. 2016 - Dec. 2018Bury St Edmunds, England, United KingdomUtilise my organisational skills & construction knowledge to ensure all new homes were built to the quality standard expected by the customers & within regs. I was the main POC for the customer following the exchange process & as part of that I personally met with them to walk them through a home introduction. During my time at TW I covered a variety of sites which at times included Stowmarket, Trimley St Martin, Trimley St Mary, Bury St Edmunds, Sprowston, Haverhill, Elmswell, Attleborough, Bucklesham, Holbrook, Framlingham, Saxmundham, Long Stratton, Cambourne, Dereham and St Neots. There was often crossover as one site completed and another started or indeed if there was a long term multi-phase site or an older development that required further attention. I worked with sales, site management & other key business unit stakeholders to ensure the customers' interests were looked after. I also maintained oversight of remediation activity to ensure satisfactory issue/defect resolution. This could include conflict resolution and outside sources such as the NHBC and trades. Liaised with customers after their move in, to ensure they had no unresolved issues. It was a high pressure, high intensity role providing face to face customer service in an extremely fast-paced environment. It was a very changeable role requiring me to constantly adapt and improve not only my performance but that of my team. It required the ability to work independently, remain calm in a crisis, prioritise work, take initiative and make informed decisions. Being solution and customer focused was key as was being passionate about getting things right first time despite challenges and obstacles. I was told I had a natural and engaging communication style, consistently demonstrated a passion and excellence for customer contact and was instrumental to developing trusting relationships both internally and externally for the best possible outcome and a positive customer journey.
