The RailStaff Awards 2024

Tony Edwards

Said the following about Abdul Rehman Savant:

“Abdul has worked with Bender UK on a number of projects over the years and moving forward. He has always embraced new technology and innovation and has been receptive to recommending this to clients for improvements rather than going with the norm. This forward thinking has been vital in the success he has shown with the roll out of the digital railway, where standard historical solutions won't achieve the needs of the digital age.

I am delighted to recommend him for the Digital Rail Person award“

Jon Gormley

Said the following about Abdul Rehman Savant:

“Abdul truly deserves this nomination for Digital Railway Person of the year as he’s constantly looking at bringing the railway into the 21st century. He is always liaising with suppliers and manufactures to develop new technologies, smart solutions and innovative ideas to help improve the railway.

He is always organising Lunch time CPD events for the office to not only keep himself up to date with new digital technologies but his fellow work colleagues from all disciplines and sectors within Amey.

Abdul is always willing to share his technical knowledge of digital technologies with junior engineers to develop their own understanding. I cannot think of no better engineer within the rail industry who deserves this award more than him.“

Paul Britnell

Said the following about Abdul Rehman Savant:

“Abdul has a desire to embrace new developments in the rail industry and improve not only his own understanding of emerging rail technologies but also that of the team. He organises regular CPD events to ensure that everyone is aware of new technological advancements in rail systems. Abdul is a specialist in signalling power design and has recently seized the opportunity to work closely with the signalling team to develop a Digital Railway system for a major infrastructure project, providing valuable drive and enthusiasm.“
