James Scutt, Head of Customer Experience at Post Office Ltd, was announced as the overall winner. Based in London, James has worked for the national institution for over 15 years.
The panel of judges offered some feedback on why they chose the winner...
“James epitomises the desire, perseverance and passion that is required in a CX leader, one that genuinely cares about the customer,” said Sandra de Zoysa, 2020 award judge and CX Leader of the Year 2019.
“It is highly impressive the number of initiatives that he put in place at the Post Office, and to do this in a public sector organisation is even more commendable.”
"Fellow judge, Michael Hinshaw added: “I was struck by the ways James has driven key aspects of experience excellence into the Post Office - clearly defined strategies, customer listening, a cultural shift towards individual and group empowerment and a shift away from top-down, centralised control via training and education, process improvements and customer understanding, to name a few!” "
