CONCESSION EXTENSION
&
CE STRATEGY

Welcome to our new Customer Experience Strategy — a roadmap that will guide us to deliver exceptional experiences to every customer, every time, taking us through to the end of the ARL concession in April 2026. In this rapidly evolving landscape, our ability to delight and exceed customer expectations is more crucial than ever.

You, our frontline team members, are the heart and soul of our customer interactions. This strategy is crafted with you in mind, as you play a pivotal role in our success.
