Alan Riley, Customer Services Director will also feature as a studio guest in every episode. He said: “We created it because of the growing popularity in podcasts especially among people on the move because of it being audio only. This podcast felt like a good addition to the work we do already to talk to our customers through things like social media and Meet the Manager events. We hope that our customers will find it interesting, as we have worked hard to get the balance right. As it is new for the industry, we would really welcome any feedback.”
