Testimonials

I made a big career change coming to work for Runnymede and I couldn't be happier with the decision. Everyone is so friendly, welcoming and supportive, it's such a lovely environment and atmosphere at the Depot.

Hannah, Street Scene Support Officer

When I arrived at Runnymede, I could not have felt more welcome.   The people have been so supportive and friendly making it such a lovely environment to work in. This immediately made me feel part of the team.   This was a new role in an area I have never worked in before whilst creating new challenges it has been proven very rewarding to be able to support different residents and non-residents. It has also been a pleasure building new relationships with other different teams that support us in this role.

Sarah, Administration Officer (Cemeteries)

I love working with my team who are all supportive and helpful. I’m enjoying my time working for Runnymede at the Depot. Working for Runnymede Borough Council is the best choice I ever made.
