MICHELLE BLAND
Michelle is 26 and has been with Dial a Cab for four years. She is a Customer Service Rep in the Call Centre with special responsibility for regular bookings - specifically for the Westminster ‘Special Needs’ account. Asked about her hobbies and disregarding the after- work jaunts to the local boozer, Michelle enjoys listening to music and - as she puts it - to chill out. But she also has an unusual hobby - glass painting. Although only recently introduced to it, Michelle is prepared to try
anything from glass bottles to
windows. She also foresees a time when there may be some money in it - any glass painting
agents out there!
In response to a Who’s Who request to paint our glass bottomed boat,
Michelle claims that you need to have more experience when doing bottoms!
Her ambitions are to be rich and eight and a half stones! In the meantime,
until the lottery cheque arrives, she is very happy at Dial-a-Cab and enjoys the
camaraderie…
ANN HUGHES
There can’t be many long-term drivers who don’t know Ann. She was a night-shift supervisor for over nineteen years starting at Shirland Road in 1977, until ill-health forced her to give it up and move to the earlier evening-shift. She is now a Customer Service Rep (okay Ann, so you’re a Call Taker!!). And, in fact, on July 22nd Ann celebrates her twentieth completed year with Dial-a-Cab.
Anne Hughes
Health problems in the past curtailed any possibility of
water skiing or sky diving, but Ann enjoys the more leisurely pursuits of drawing and
reading. She is also a big video buff and enjoys relaxing to one of the latest releases.
While being as efficient at her position as you would expect, she admits that
she misses the old voice system at times because "…you got to know far more
drivers that you do now. Names were far more important then".
Ann loves being at Dial-a-Cab and can’t imagine ever being anywhere
else.
