I have been lucky enough to work with Andy since joining MTREL and his sharing of knowledge, mentorship, ability to see problems from all angles to find compromise has been a great support to me. It's not an exaggeration to say that were it not for Andy, the Elizabeth line would not be the amazing success it is! A huge contribution to the industry over 50 years, well deserving of this recognition and your vote! Stratford Station is one of the busiest stations on the network and is certainly one of the most complex. Just looking at it from NR's offices in Stratford place shows how complex it is. In addition to the complex and busy operation, the team deal with major events on a weekly basis. They do it so well, that after we've read through the plans, they deliver and we rarely hear about it again. Again, another worthy vote!

A formidable set of nominations, recognising some fantastic people in our business and highlighting the calibre of our team. It’s a privilege to work alongside Andy, and the operation that the Stratford team run day-in, day-out is seriously impressive to stand back and observe!
