Thousands of people have people served the railway faithfully throughout their entire career and it’s not uncommon to find staff who’ve given 30, 40, or even 50 years’ service.
The Lifetime Achievement Award recognises those who’ve invested so much of their time to delivering excellence for the benefit of customers and colleagues alike. It honours those who’ve displayed a career’s worth of dedication, commitment, and a willingness to go that extra mile.
Matt Clarke at BTTC is a distinguished infrastructure delivery project management professional with over 26 years’ experience in the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia. He took home the honour this year.
With extensive expertise in leading complex and challenging programmes, he has established himself as an industry leader in collaborative contracting practices. He is also a dedicated advocate for equality, diversity, and inclusion and is deeply committed to the communities he serves, leading initiatives that provide substantial societal benefits.
Matt was the embodiment of humility when he received the prize.
“I’ve been lucky to have had a really enjoyable career and to have worked all over the world on some amazing projects, with some amazing people,” he said. “I’ve been so fortunate, and this is just the icing on the cake.
“I’d really like to thank BTTC. The support they’ve given me has been phenomenal and they’re a fantastic company to work for.”
Once again, leading technology company Telent sponsored the award. Rail Director Kevin Bonanno said:
“It is incredible to see the dedication and commitment of those who are shaping the future of rail at the RailStaff Awards. When you speak to people about what they do, they genuinely do not realise the extraordinary efforts they put in for the UK rail industry and its passengers.
“This year’s RailStaff Awards is a great opportunity to recognise those individuals and teams who have gone above and beyond to keep our railway running safely, which is why Telent is honoured to be one of this year’s sponsors.”
Highly commended
