Education
Summary of Career Experience
| Tegwyn is an independent consultant who has rapidly established his consultancy with a range of assignments. He is a Director (part-time) of The Management School, a training organisation. He has worked extensively with the Improvement and Development Agency (IdeA) and others, organising and facilitating training events and developing training programmes. Customer Services, and Children and young people services, have been key areas of focus for Tegwyn’s consultancy. Tegwyn’s feedback shows high levels of satisfaction with quality of both content and facilitation. Prior to this his professional career lay in environmental health. In 1997, Tegwyn was seconded for a year to a team that bid for Housing Stock Transfer where he led the tenants’ consultation process that successfully secured a majority in favour of the transfer. Afterwards he won a place in the corporate team, supporting the Chief Executive and dealing with change management. He developed a model of area governance, and gave evidence on it to a joint committee of the Houses of Lords and Commons during the introduction of the Local Government Act 2000. As Group Manager for 3 years, Tegwyn led key customer-facing services at South Somerset District Council. He built and led a team that successfully introduced and developed a new telephone contact centre. An integrated customer relations management system improved the performance of an existing network of community offices to provide “one-stop-shop” services. The changes he introduced reoriented council services towards customer’s needs and aspirations. Furthermore, Tegwyn developed a strategic marketing plan to move users to cheaper access channels, which will deliver the cost savings of e-government. As part of this, he conceived and launched a digital television site aimed at hard-to-reach people. Careline, South Somerset's social alarm service, lost a major client in 2004, and was facing substantial losses. Tegwyn restructured the service, outsourced the call centre element, and introduced a focussed Marketing Plan. The service was turned around to achieve a profit of £100k in 2005/06, and high levels of customer satisfaction were maintained. His expertise in delivering customer care has formed the basis of his broader base as an independent Consultant.
