Friday 5 August saw the latest batch of staff members to celebrate with a Champagne reception in the
Boardroom following a presentation of long service certificates by the Board of Management.
Pride of place went to Albert Kyei-Kankam-Poakwah who celebrated 20 years. Albert arrived at Dial-a-Cab on 1 July 1991
as a cleaner and who along the years has become the stationary storekeeper and handyman in addition to now working in the
Admin department.
Celebrating 15 years with DaC was Theresa Whitfield, who amazingly began in the Call Centre as a temporary call taker for
the anticipated Christmas rush in October 1995 and in the January was asked if she wanted to stay! She has moved onwards and
upwards to become a trainer in the Call Centre before moving to our IT department as assistant to the IT and Data Systems
Managers. Soon after that she became involved with Data Systems and IT Support. Theresa is currently a DaC Business Analyst.
DaC's Financial Controller, Warren Smith, began in March 2001 to celebrate 10 years.
"And I have enjoyed every minute" Warren told Call Sign. "This is a lovely place to work, surrounded by so many love-
ly people."
Also celebrating was Annita Young, who began her 10 years as a receptionist. Annita then became what was described as a
Woman Friday before becoming a Sales Administrator in DaC's Admin department. Annita is now one of our Account Managers.
Unable to attend were two Customer Services Representatives on the night shift, Geraldine Haley and Jemma Rushton, both
having been with the Society for ten years.
