Honda in the UK, maker of quality Honda turn signal, has been voted Best Volume Manufacturer in the Lloyds TSB autolease ServiceTrak Awards. The recognition gauges excellence in corporate after sales service as well as accident repair. More than 2,600 corporate customers gave criticisms on key aspects of the service that is delivered by suppliers as well as manufacturers.
The Manager for ServiceTrak at Lloyds TSB autolease by the name of Joe Bhamra said that Honda (UK) has excellently demonstrated its capability to deliver excellent service and share similar ‘care values’. He added that their company makes sure that the services delivered to their customers are serious. He therefore concluded that it is important for Lloyds TSB autolease to identify and, most especially, recognize manufacturers and suppliers who meet and exceed their expectations.
Brian Jameson, the Corporate Aftersales Manager for Honda (UK) commented that they have a strong service maintenance repair programme and the aforementioned award depicted how their dealers have taken retail experience and used this in the rushing automotive market so that the corporate customer will be benefited. He added that the service maintenance repair programme endorses findings of this year’s JD Power Survey where Honda was top in the ‘first time fix’ category and second in the overall survey.
The quality of service to customers is measured by Lloyds TSB autolease ServiceTrak after vehicles were serviced or repaired. It then gathered feedback on the service quality and communication that are provided by suppliers and manufacturers.
The manufacturers were specifically measured based on the service that is provided by their individual sites, with the accident repair technicians measured on their speed of service against strict repair quality criteria.
Meanwhile, employees and visitors at the Honda Motor Co. plant in central Ohio soon will have safer areas where they can smoke cigarettes without violating state law, as Honda modifies smoking policy.
On February 8, Honda made the plant and its surrounding property tobacco-free in response to the smoking ban that was approved by Ohio voters in November 2006. When visitors and employees want to smoke, they then began driving off the property and parking along nearby roads.
It was the concern of the Union County Sheriff's Office authorities that it could be dangerous for people to park and perhaps even stand along those roads. Honda then decided to change its policy.
Honda spokesman Ed Miller said that they still do not encourage smoking, but their primary goal is to run a safe workplace. He added that Honda will create some smoking areas within the premises, and employees and visitors will be able to smoke in their cars while within the plant property.
In can be really hard for anyone to get a bank account in the UK nowadays. With the bank sometimes wanting two forms of ID, and a utility bill, and maybe even a reference, it can make things tough for some people to open up an account.
I moved to England, from Belfast, last year with a friend to start new jobs here. We both first of all needed to open bank accounts to deposit our wages into. For my friend it was really hard - because we rented our accommodation and the rent included bills, we didn’t have any utility bills in our name. There were other problems, but this was a main one - a stupid rule that discriminates against renters.
I say that it was really hard for my friend, but it was even more difficult for me. Because I have dual nationality and chose to travel on an Irish passport the banks would not take this as verification of my ID. So, even though I am a British citizen, unless I show a British passport the banks will not try to confirm my identification and turned me down straight for a bank account.
Although I was having more problems, my friend wasn’t able to open a bank account either. So here we were - two successful men in two good jobs, who just weren’t allowed to open a bank account in England because of a lot of red tape.
My friend got lucky - after a long time of stress and unhappy phone calls he went online and got a Barclays current account online. Me however, I gave up. I have to use my Ulster Bank account for my wages to be paid to me. Although I can use my bank card here to withdraw money here I am very limited to the services I can use from over here.
So, I ask what, kind of shambles is the British banking system that two British citizens can have such problems in simply opening an account?
