The Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) has appointed Nicola South, to carry out the new role of Customer Experience Manager.
Newly created, this position at the RCVS is intended to help improve the experiences of vets, veterinary nurses and the public in their dealings with the college.
Speaking of the appointment, CEO Nick Stace said: "Nicola brings to the college a wealth of customer service experience gained from the hotel and tourism industries.
"Improving our customer service delivery is a priority, and I am delighted to have Nicola on board who will help to champion these improvements across the organisation."
Commenting on her new role, Nicola added: "I'm extremely excited and proud to be joining the staff at the RCVS, and at such a significant time, just as the First-Rate Regulator initiative is underway, which will lead to a change of focus in how we deliver our services to meet all of our customers' needs."
"My arrival has been met by a staff made up of extremely dedicated and passionate individuals, and I'm really looking forward to working as a team to deliver an improved customer experience for everyone," she concluded.
Nicola has joined the RCVS from Orbit Group Ltd., where she was Service Excellence Advisor for the East and South Region.
