DVLA CHIEF EXECUTIVE ON THE BRINK?

DVLA CHIEF EXECUTIVE ON THE BRINK?
THE PUBLIC'S PATIENCE HAS RUN OUT - IN A RECENT POLL, A MASSIVE 90% VOTED FOR NOEL SHANAHAN TO BE SACKED
THIS BLOG IS IN THE INTERESTS OF THE GREAT BRITISH MOTORING PUBLIC WHO DESERVE BETTER SERVICE.

DRIVER AND VEHICLE LICENSING AGENCY

The DVLA appears to be a badly run organisation.

Ian Broom is Customer Services Manager and Noel Shanahan is Chief Executive.

Unfortunately, if you do encounter a problem, neither Mr Shanahan nor Mr Broom will be available to address your concerns.

Surely it is now time these pair of clowns were put to task over the running of this incompetent organisation.

The staff at their call centre in Swansea haven't a clue what they are doing or saying. I have been given bad information, causing me to be out of pocket by some £100. I have been passed around from one clueless department to another without anyone being able to address my concerns and I am sick to the back teeth of it.

So I now feel it necessary to name and shame the people responsible for this mess - Noel Shanahan and Ian Broom.

I do not feel either of them have - or will ever have - the necessary skills required to be capable of managing in such a high profile organisation. I feel it is now time these two were replaced and the department overhalled - with proper staff training administered.

DESIGNED BY THE DVLA BY ANY CHANCE??

IAN BROOM, NOEL SHANAHAN RUFFLED?

In response to one of our posts we have a response from an "anonymous" blogger. We feel it is either Noel Shanahan or Ian Broom (more likely). Well we are here to support free speech and openness so here it is:

"Ian Broom no longer manages the Call Centre, which by the way, under his management was recognised as one of the top contact centres in Europe.Noel Shanahan, whilst acknowledging there is still much to do, has made huge improvements at the DVLA since he took over the role of CEO about 18 months ago -and this despite difficult trading conditions which has caused significant budget restrictions.Managing 35 million driver records and 40 million vehicle records is a huge challenge. Any mistakes are regrettable, important to the individual concenred and need to be resolved quickly. But to 'name and shame' and call for sackings of two individuals is a slight overreaction don't you think?"

Our response:

Sorry Mr Bro...ahem anonymous. The British public is fed up with the incompetence and anxiety suffered at the hands of this inept organisation. A poll was undertaken on this blog which resulted in 90% of independent voters wanting Noel Shanahan sacked. So there you have it. It is a democratic country and the public have had their say.

We will now approach the department of transport with our findings and let them take appropriate action. If this means Mr Shanahan is removed from his duties then so be it. As for Mr Broom, he is a non-entity as far as we are concerned so the least said about him the better. (pictured right - "non-entity" Ian Broom)
