“WE’RE HERE TO HELP – FIRST FOR SERVICE”

First for Service was implemented by our 3663 colleagues in the United Kingdom over twelve years ago. Service is not only a culture; it is a way of doing business and in our business, service excellence is undoubtedly that immeasurable discipline that determines our success or failure. 

First For Service is a Total Quality Management Programme designed specifically for the development of our people, with the following objectives in mind:

n         To motivate all staff and build their self esteem

n         To encourage creative problem solving and stimulate initiative

n         To build trust and facilitate communication

n         Reward, recognise, communicate and celebrate team success

n         Establish a culture where mistakes are not punished but marked pathways for improvement
