"As you now know, Carillion Rail including SkyBlue, triumphed last week at the Network Rail Partnership Awards - bringing home each one of the awards they entered back in June:

Safety Award: Achieving 365 Target Zero
Best Project (small): 8 Hour Bridge
Best Project (medium): Medge Hall
Best Project (large): Southampton Tunnel


"Thank you to each and everyone of the SkyBlue Rail team who have made these achievements possible!

"Your commitment and hard work is felt and appreciated by Carillion Rail at large, with Arith Liyanage, MD for the business expressing his personal thanks below."

Arith Liyanage, MD Carillion Rail
"We could not have delivered this success without some key partnerships - not least that we have with SkyBlue.

"SkyBlue has successfully supplied us with our need for track operatives over the past year, including helping us to deliver the challenging works at Southampton NLL and Luton.

"SkyBlue has also championed the safety improvements we made to help us reach 365 Target Zero AFR. It was therefore only fitting that Dave Litchfield and John Beard collected the award for Safety Performance on behalf of our Rail business."
