He is definitely one of our rising stars, always coming up with good ideas and working hard to improve the customer experience. I would like to thank him for his efforts and congratulate him on his perfect score.”

Customer service and quality standards at Greater Anglia stations are assessed on a regular basis and Chris achieved his perfect score of 100% when assessed as part of a recent mystery shopping exercise carried out between 6th January and 2nd February 2013.

Andrew Goodrum Greater Anglia’s Customer Services Director said:

“Since the Greater Anglia franchise began, we have been concentrating our efforts on improving the customer experience; one important element of this is to give our staff additional training, enabling them to provide the best service possible for the over two million passengers a week using our services in London and the East Anglia region. I am delighted that this training is having real benefits in practice and improving customer service in all aspects of our business.”
