‘Rather than simply zeroing in on one track worker we at Coyle Rail feel success and safety out on site is the result of a combined team effort,’ says Roger Stewart, Rail Director, Coyle Rail, announcing plans to sponsor a new category: ‘Rail Infrastructure Staff of the Year’ at the RailStaff Awards 2010.  ‘Groups of staff should be recognised and their achievements celebrated together,’ says Roger.

Coyle Rail is a major contributor to the burgeoning railway infrastructure construction industry.  Working on major projects on the national rail network and the London Underground Coyle Rail is a founder member of the RailStaff Awards.

The RailStaff Awards will be held on 23rd October 2010 at the International Convention Centre, Birmingham. Says Roger Stewart, 'I am delighted to be involved with the RailStaff Awards 2010 in this the fourth year of the Awards. It’s a great chance to get together with people from all over the industry and meet old friends and new. Most importantly, we can salute the hard work and professionalism of the ordinary men and women who deliver Britain’s railway round the clock, day and night. We, at Coyle Rail, make a point of encouraging team work and excellence in the railway industry. Seeing initiative and professionalism rewarded makes good sense and we’re delighted to be sponsoring ‘Rail Infrastructure Staff of the Year’ at this year’s RailStaff Awards.’

Tom O'Connor, director, Rail Media Group, said, ‘Coyle Rail is an essential part of the RailStaff Awards and I am delighted to welcome them this year. Roger and his team’s enthusiasm and obvious professionalism lights up the whole event. The success of major rail projects is consistently the result of a top quality team effort.  It is doubly appropriate that Coyle Rail has decided to back the new category, ‘Rail Infrastructure Staff of the Year’ at the RailStaff Awards 2010.’
