Scott Rumsey

An enthusiastic student and practitioner of customer service his whole career, Scott has been working as a trainer and coach in this field since 1996. His foundation in customer service and then sales emanates from his time on the front line in retail banking with NatWest. Demonstrating a strong philosophy of putting the customer first, Scott was invited to lead a local project team, challenged with the task of reducing customer queues and waiting times. The recommendations from Scott’s team were implemented, resulting in a 50% reduction in queuing and a marked increase in customer satisfaction. His team were rewarded with a Quality Service award at the national service conference.
