Said the following about Geoff Walker:

“I would like to nominate Geoff as trainer of the year as he is continuously endeavouring to train and develop new starters into our industry and leading his driving influence into those of us that continue our careers within the rail industry. Geoff sets high standards within the training room environment which enables and gives candidates comfort and confidence and a full understanding of our Lifesaving Rules whilst on and off site.

Good Luck Geoff.

Regards, Paul

“Excellent trainer who goes over and above to push safety first to all who come in touch with him. Geoff has been pushing safety for over 25 years and has never been recognised, his unique personality engages with learners, visitors, client's. A self-motivated individual with excellent teamwork skills combined with the discipline to work extremely well on his own if required. Strong organisational and communication skills involving the ability to disseminate information and knowledge whilst listening and putting into practice advice and instructions.

A pleasure to work with.

Thank you

Mark Hughes

"Apart from Geoff being an excellent trainer, I would like to comment on his Individual candidate skills. Always makes the candidates feel at ease and increases candidate confidence which in turn creates an excellent class environment. Has a unique skill in making all course candidates participate voluntary in the course being undertaken.

His one to one skills are also excellent.“

Said the following about Geoff Walker:

“I have nominated Geoff because of the passion he has for the railway and training individuals the right way. He is a real railway enthusiast who takes pride in what he does and if we had more trainers like him on the railway it would be a much safer place.“
