MTR Crossrail 'Celebrating You' Winners 2017 and 2018

We are very proud to play our part in the MTR Crossrail family and to be recognised 2 years running for our contribution to the success of the business is enormously pleasing.

At their Annual 'Celebrating You' awards ceremonies held in Central London during April, MTR Crossrail recognize the value of their employees and suppliers in building the business and in achieving the standards that they set ourselves, to deliver a World Class Crossrail Operation.

We attended the ceremonies both last year and this and were delighted to be picked out amongst the extremely commended candidates to receive the following awards:

2017- Directors Award for our involvement as Interface Manager for the Crossrail On-Network Functional Requirements (ONFR) project for stations in the Anglia Route.

2018- Swiss Re Safety Award for our involvement with the DOO Safety Team, in ensuring that the safe operation of the newly installed DOO was optimized.

2018- Directors Award for our involvement in the mobilization and entry into service of the first new Crossrail Central Section Station to be brought into use at Abbey Wood.

 

Thameslink Southern Great Northern Franchise competition (TSGN)

Fantastic experience of managing the award winning project to tender the largest train operating franchise in the UK.  This commercial transaction project for the DfT involved the bringing together of two existing, large train operations serving the north and south of London and beyond, to delivery a single operator that could manage the transitional operations of the Thameslink franchise.  This set under a background of a department under stress from a previous competition debacle. We helped to understand and map a new and improved assurance and governance process that in turn delivered a robust competition.

Great Western Route Modernisation (GWRM)

Seconded into Network Rail, we managed two key aspects of the project to electrify the route between London and Bristol.

Firstly, Topographical and Geotechnical surveys were required of the existing bridge and station assets along the line of route in order to understand the full extent of design and works to prepare for the new rolling stock.

Secondly, station property alterations had to be planned at Bath Spa, Chippenham, Keynsham and Oldfield Park, including platform re-gauging, canopy alterations as well as the associated enabling permanent and temporary works.
