Roger Payne Email & Phone Number

Roger Payne is a Definitive Map Manager at Cambridgeshire County Council. Colleagues describe him as "I worked in the same office with Roger for over 11 years; 8 of which he was my line manager. We worked very closely during that time on countless projects, operations and people management. During the 8 years we worked together I also had direct reports of my own and my management style and ethos owes a lot to Roger and his leadership and mentoring. He also gave myself and my colleagues opportunities to develop and nurture talent of our own and our direct reports. Roger gave me space and empowerment to make my own decisions and to stick by them. My colleagues were based in other UK offices, but Roger was always conscious to give all us the equal amount of time and attention and not a bias amount to people in the same office as him. His door was always open to the UK staff. Roger encouraged an open and honest and equally professional rapport with the staff. Roger’s passion and enthusiasm were contagious. He is very organised, set a superb example and best practices will continue to be used in the company for years to come. He has high standards of himself and those around him and would expect but reward hard work, commitment and a willingness to learn and develop. During our time together at HERE, the business went through several transformations and changes as well as an evolution into a modern business. Roger was always at the front of the changes and helped me and the staff manage those changes. Roger encouraged me to be open-minded and adaptable to change. Roger was also empathic to the staff as individuals and not just as employees and how changes affected them personally as well as professionally. Roger taught me so much and I’ll always be grateful to him for his support and guidance in my career. He would be an asset to any business for the strengths and experience he brings and because he is such a nice person to work alongside. " and "Roger made a real difference to the coverage and quality of the HERE map database, both through his own work and co-ordinating and encouraging his colleagues to work together to common goals. I saw this throughout my ten years working with Roger as a colleague Roger would ensure that everyone was clear on the deliverables, timeline and encouraged open discussions on any issues that could impact on the plan. He would keep me advised of progress and would be receptive to any changes required. He always responded to customer issues professionally, providing a clear assessment, and taking positive actions to resolve the situation. For the UK Addressing Project, Roger formulated and implemented original approaches to improve the Addressing and Postcode coverage and accuracy. He was supportive and knowledgeable when aiding negotiations with suppliers. With the Points of Interest project, he made a measurable difference by clearly identifying the product needs and then facilitating approaches to achieve that. I’m pleased to be able to recommend Roger, who will be an asset to any organisation that recruits him."
