Karl Ridpath Email & Phone Number

Karl Ridpath is a Regional Head of Employer Services at Reed in Partnership. Colleagues describe him as "I have had the pleasure of working with Karl in two Company’s, in each Karl was in a similar yet significantly different role. The first time working with Karl was when he was part of my Team that was tasked with proving, though a 6 month trial, that by adopting and embracing a culture of Coaching Colleagues, that market leading levels of Customer Service and Sales performance could be achieved. The project was a success and led to a Nationwide rollout of the model, Karl was a key member of the Team and played a major role the process. Karl was the Customer Service Manager, leading a Team by example and ongoing support, to levels of overall Customer satisfaction that I had rarely seen before, evidenced by written Customer feedback. Karl has great pride in truly taking ownership of issues, relationships and standards, his attention to detail means that communication is consistent and mistakes rarely happen (if a mistake is made, you can be confident that Karl will make sure that this is a learning opportunity and is not repeated - I know this is a cliche, but it’s true) When we went our separate ways I was asked by a Senior Manager at my new Company if I knew of any ‘good people’ that we could add to our Team. KARL was the first person I called. Karl joined me at the new Company, and, while we’re not working directly with each other I was able to have a lot of interaction with him as I delivered his induction and Management Development Training. Karl has one of the best attitudes towards self development that I have encountered, willing, not only to learn new skills and approaches to Managing, but then to return to his Team and embed the new approach. Always inclusive, Karl engages and motives those around him, driving the highest levels of service, performance and standards in a regulated industry. In the last 8 months, during the change to working from home caused by COVID, Karl has supported the Regional Management and Senior Team and has been the online support Manager for his Colleagues. If you need that Colleague with the X factor, if you need someone who will add real value to your Team, give Karl a chance. " and "Having worked with Karl for many years i can honestly say he is a Talented Manager with much to offer, he has always demonstrated energy, integrity, determination whilst always ensuring goals and deadlines were met with utmost professionalism. I would not hesitate in recommending Karl to any future employers as Karl would without any question be an asset to any of them."
