Sandwell UNISON’s 2026 Local Service Champion

Satish Patel, ICT Senior Lead Officer, is UNISON’s Local Service Champion for 2026.

Staff who work for Satish nominated him to be this year’s Champion because he “consistently delivers exceptional customer service, always striving for the best possible outcomes. His ability to communicate openly and effectively extends beyond customers to everyone he encounters. His dedication to doing right by customers, even when it requires additional time, effort and resources, underscores his commitment to excellence in ICT. As a true ambassador for Sandwell Council, his actions demonstrate this daily.”

Satish leads a team of twenty frontline ICT staff and began working for Sandwell in 1987. Pictured above with the Mayor, Steve Melia and Tony Barnsley from Sandwell UNISON.
