In these days of rapid CV building, where people often move quickly from one company to another in order to progress their career path, it is a matter of note when someone achieves long service whilst progressing within the same company.
2020 saw the dedication of Wayne Carlisle from Checkprint (part of the TALL Group of Companies, based in Hinckley) celebrated as he completed 25 years’ service with an astounding ‘no sick days’ for the entire duration.
Wayne joined the company back in 1995 – at a time when John Major was Prime Minister and Oasis was at number one with Wonder Wall. After spending nine years in the army, Wayne worked his way up from maintenance engineer to IT Manager, and is now IT Director responsible for a team of 20.
Commenting on Wayne’s long service with the company, Martin Ruda, Managing Director at the TALL Group of Companies, says: “Wayne has been responsible for the delivery of high quality software solutions such as our Checkprint Solution, Bureau Services, and the patented fraud prevention tool UCN Plus to our customers. It is a great pleasure to recognise staff for their dedication and I would like to congratulate him for all his hard work over the years. We value the experience of long-serving employees and know that this, along with their dedication, is the secret to our success.”
Martin adds: “On a personal note, and mindful of Wayne’s Services background, if ever one were in the trenches, Wayne is the man you would want next to you.”
“I take great pride in my work and what I’ve accomplished,” observes Wayne Carlisle, reflecting on the last 25 years, adding: “One of the highlights of the 25 years was when the company won the Queen’s Award for Innovation and I got to actually chat with the Queen at Buckingham Palace.
“I love to be hands-on and explore new challenges. I’ve been fortunate to have travelled the world with my job at Checkprint, from France and Germany to Nigeria, Zanzibar and even LA, and I’ve never had a day off sick. Long may it continue.”
In 2000 Checkprint Ltd. became part of the TALL Group of Companies and now has a highly skilled workforce of over 50 people, who maintain numerous loyal customer relationships.
Checkprint has managed the Barclays Special Cheque and Credit Service since 1994, and the company has established and developed significant contracts with many other leading financial institutions including Nationwide Building Society and Metro Bank.
Elements central to the success of the business are high quality and exceptional customer service. In addition, innovative new product development and rapid turnaround remain at the core of Checkprint’s operation.
