Lee Wear

President, National Local Government Customer Service Network

Team Leader Customer Relations, Camden Council

Camden Council has reshaped how customer service is delivered both internally and externally and as the Team Leader of Customer Service, Lee has been involved in many customer centric projects. Lee’s focus is to continually drive Customer Service across the whole of Camden Council to improve both internal and external customer service. An inclusive, innovative leader that has built and continues to add to a team of passionate, enthusiastic people who make it possible to together achieve outstanding results.

Lee believes that it’s important for her Team to understand how their contact with every customer both internal and external shapes the Council’s and the Team’s reputations and never lets them forget just how amazing they are. Customer Service is part of every role within a Council and the key is having the right people as role models to the rest of the organisation.

Having worked in Local Government for over twenty years but coming from the private sector, Lee has a wealth of experience and is happy to share and exchange ideas – make sure you catch up with her at the conference or contact her at Camden Council – Lee’s a strong believer in not underestimating having a great network of people to bounce off or exchange ideas as it opens you up to all sorts of opportunities and possibilities!
