Matthew has taken on the task of reducing our credit card declines onboard. He has been pivotal to this project and has gone beyond his remit to ensure its progression over the last few months. This is a tedious, detailed, and time-consuming task that he has stuck to tirelessly, resulting in this significant positive commercial impact on our company. Many said it was not possible to achieve this level of credit card declines, but Matt made the impossible possible.

Winner: Kiru Govender – Global Recon Co-ordinator, Asset Protection
Kiru has shown himself to be very customer-orientated and always works to the highest quality and standard. Kiru is very swift in responding to requests and always provides additional assistance, without compromise. One of the regular reports took up to 4 hours to compile and the data wasn’t showcased as effectively as it could be. Kiru noted this during his attendance at the Weekly Trading meetings and immediately informed the team that he could assist. The team communicated their requirements, and within a few minutes, he understood the business need and designed the best reporting model he could. This report can now be completed in only 15 minutes! Everyone at Tourvest Retail Services is very impressed with his skills and knowledge!!!!
