THE chief executive of East Devon District Council, Mark Williams, and his fellow directors found out what it is like on the frontline - by working on reception.
Customer service staff at EDDC's Knowle offices were joined by the Council's senior officers as part of a 'back-to-the-floor' initiative to find out how well they are doing and to see how they can improve as part of the Council's National Customer Service Week.
Other initiatives included a customer questionnaire, and a web survey to ensure that services are continually improved.
From very small beginnings in 2001, when the week was first thought of, 20 organisations took part.

A council spokesman said: "A food theme for each day of the week, a poster competition, word search and WOW Awards have all been part and parcel of the fun, whilst Customer Service Centre staff have remained totally motivated and professional throughout."
