I first met Delroy when Adele and I interviewed him for a role in the Systems Analysis team in Sheffield. I believe we both still remember our first experiences of Delroy’s humour – especially after the interview as we escorted him in the lift back out of the building - he had both of us laughing until we said goodbye.
Since he joined our team there have been so many occasions where he has made us laugh and helped keep us positive with his constant cheerful greetings/positive approach to everything. His seemingly never-ending desire to do the best he possibly could in both work and non-work activities that he was involved with was always admired and appreciated.
I’m both pleased and proud to have worked with Delroy in recent years and, as his line manager until a year ago, I have admired the way Delroy approached his work and the dedication he showed in trying to achieve what was needed for the business and its clients. He truly made a difference in terms of work activity and the positive impact he had on the ‘culture’ of the team - both of which I’m sure will be missed.
Whilst my initial impressions of Delroy were of him being a quiet character; it quickly became apparent to me that he was quietly building strong relationships and bonds with others and that he was respected and typically at least well liked if not loved by others within the team, the wider IT dept, other Capita departments and clients. The number of positive comments left by many different people and numerous mentions of him being a true gentleman highlight how Delroy’s Christian values were constantly displayed as he went about his day-to-day activities at work – something that I always admired, respected, enjoyed experiencing and learning from first hand.
