Your CX Specialist for North Yorkshire

Chris Cartledge

With over 20 years of experience across hospitality, QSR, retail, and convenience sectors, I have had the pleasure of working with leading global brands such as Shell, Yorkshire Tea, Papa John’s, Subway, and Jamie Oliver. My work spans both national and international markets, including projects across the UK, Europe, and India, giving me a deep understanding of how to deliver exceptional customer experiences in diverse environments.

I believe that the foundation of any successful CX transformation starts with understanding your customers. By gathering and analyzing critical insights, we can identify the gaps and opportunities within your customer journey. From there, we work together to develop a comprehensive CX plan that aligns with your business objectives and elevates your service delivery.

Whether it’s through customer journey mapping, team training, or operational improvements, I am dedicated to creating solutions that not only meet but exceed customer expectations. My focus is on helping businesses foster a customer-centric culture that resonates at every touchpoint, ensuring long-term success and growth.

If you're looking to improve your customer experience, I’d love to collaborate and help you achieve your goals

Testimonials

Samantha Hunt, Head of Sales & Marketing
Visit York has used insight6 to manage our mystery shopping at our tourism awards since 2017. In recent years, this has included face-to-face reviews in line with changes made by Visit England. Throughout our partnership, it's allowed our judging panel to be confident that high-quality feedback will be received to define our winners. An added value benefit to our members is all reports are in line with the Visit England scoring criteria, and it allows them to receive independent feedback directly through insight6, after our awards ceremony, to assess and improve their applications and businesses in the future. It's great to see insight6 at our events and engaging with our members to help and support them with delivering great customer experiences, so more visitors return again and again to the area.

In my role as head of retail for Dove House Hospice Charity shops, I was keen to uphold the same quality of service that one would expect from any retail operation. The team at insight6 worked closely with us to establish the key elements we wanted to measure, they clearly understood our needs I am extremely happy with the quality of service, excellent communication, and friendly manner.

Ian delivered a virtual presentation for FSB members as part of our Monday Motivation series of events and gave some great hints and tips to the group, in a professional and insightful presentation. His friendly, relaxed and approachable manner and extensive knowledge made this a really successful event. I recommend working with Ian and have already passed his details on to other colleagues.

Ian has been a great support for both me and my business as I've needed it to evolve into a changing market. I've had ups and downs, yet each time Ian has offered the encouragement I've needed at just the right tone. Simple steps sometimes, but always positive. His smile and laugh are uplifting, and Ian can help so many businesses onto the next level with his insight into customer behaviour. He helps business owners, and their teams understand their customers' perceptions, requirements and helps them to make the changes they need to progress forward and increase sales. Thank you, Ian.

Ian presented at our recent online Business Conference for the Thirsk & District Business Association. Ian gave a thought provoking and engaging presentation. Everyone who attended was able to take something away with them to work on within their own businesses. I would recommend Ian if you were looking for someone to present on customer service and experiences. We will certainly be asking Ian and insight6 to present at future events that we hold. Thank you once again Ian.
