A long-standing Richmond construction company is futureproofing its workforce by taking on more apprentices than ever before.  Graeme Newton, Managing Director of Randall Orchard Construction, has appointed six apprentices to work across the different trades of the business. Graeme, an alumnus of Richmond School and Sixth Form College, is delighted to be carrying on the tradition of employing students from his former college and is welcoming Luca Sartini as a joiner and Liam Millar as a bricklayer.

Evie's music is riding on the crest of a wave
A young Richmond singer-songwriter is riding on the crest of a wave after announcing her headline act at Liverpool's world-famous Jacaranda Club in November and becoming a regular feature on BBC Radio. Evie Wright, a 22-year-old former student at Richmond School and Sixth Form College, is gaining widespread plaudits for her music, most recently after playing her new single 'Ride the Wave' on BBC's Airwaves 2021 Festival, alongside Rag ‘N’ Bone Man, The Fratellis and Amy MacDonald.

Is Covid still an excuse for a poor customer experience?

Gather better feedback data that really reflects the experience. As customers, we only ever get asked how our experience was after the transaction has finished. Of course, in the majority of cases, the customer has had any issue they had resolved. But what about the customers who can’t get through, or can’t find what they want on the website or are on hold for hours? How are firms focussing on how those customers might feel? How are they going to reward them for their time and patience? More importantly, how are they then communicating back when messages are left? As we move out of our current state let us see which major brands move with the times and offer a very different experience, rather than leaning on the excuses of the past. If you need some help, we are here for you. Please contact me for a CX discussion.
