As a business, we need to reflect this positive outcome but also bare in mind that we need to consistently strive for progress. One of the ways we will achieve this is by expanding our business. With this in mind, we need to be proactive rather than reactive. Opportunities exist, we just need to be ahead of the game and take the upper hand when we see inspiring ideas.
This could be:
- land for sale for a housing development
- A large music or social event
- Working with stakeholders, large local employers
- The stops on a route which are constantly the most productive
The best ideas come from front-line colleagues, who know the routes and areas inside out. They also may live locally so they will know where the new opportunities exist before others.
How would we capture this valuable information?
We have some great connections to feed the information to our support teams:
- Talk to your local schedules rep, they will regularly attend local commercial team meetings and
- Use 'Tap and Tell' via the connect app
- During canteen Question Time sessions feedback your growth ideas
- Speak to me as your employee director, I can take a suggestion forward
- Chat with your local operations manager.
The opportunities to grow our business exist. We can all play our part to make this happen.
On Friday 22nd Feb I will be in Basildon in the morning and Hadleigh in the afternoon.
