Thank you Capgemini

We’d like to say a special thank you to members of the Test & Release team from Capgemini Telford & their colleagues, who have supported TCS over the last 18 months in numerous ways. It has been a challenging period for TCS coping with increased demand for our services, introducing new services and moving hubs.

We were able to do this because of the support provided by Capgemini during this period, this included helping at food drives, Sainsbury’s and ASDA, greeting and thanking customers, collecting and packing food, and helping to get it back to the hub in Halesfield. Supporting a food drive at AFC Telford United.

Collecting, loading, driving and moving furniture, fridges, freezers, food, and clothing from our old home in Sutton Hill and from donors including our friends at Lyreco, then getting it into place in the hub at Halesfield. We did this all in a day without disrupting the service to customers, and this was only possible with help from the Capgemini volunteer team.

We have had help periodically through the year with donations of food from the Capgemini offices too, lots of food, targeted donation too, focused on items we really needed the most, which was particularly, helpful to us – this included Christmas, not only did we have food donations we also had a team of helpers working helping us put together nearly 200 food box hampers for Christmas. We also had help getting the uniform project up and running including Capgemini staff organising weekend drive-in collections for us, then there’s the software solution too which will be coming online to support our admin later on this year.

Support of this type and range is invaluable to us, it’s been an honour to have the Capgemini team on our side, we will certainly miss their energy, commitment and enthusiasm of the Test & Release team, but are pleased to say that our relationship will continue through 22 and hopefully beyond.

The picture below is from the final event, a food drive cake sale, with our own Chris Jones (in red) manning the stall with the Capgemini team.

Thank you to all at Capgemini who have contributed, we appreciate all your endeavours in supporting us and would like to wish the members of the Test & Release team every success in their new roles and companies.
