Steven Shiel

Said the following about Cliff Moody and the LNE and EM Welfare Team:

“Cliff has since October 2016 led the LNE&EM Welfare team tasked with improving welfare for our entire workforce on the LNE&EM Route. Cliff led the team to implement the recommendations from the Aston Report into the state of lack of welfare within the Rail Industry, a damning report on how poor we provide provisions for our staff. As part of the project led by Cliff our team visited over 400plus locations, Depots, Signal Boxes and stations and scoped 65 sites to install revolutionary solarloos as a permanent lineside fixture where the whole of the route was mapped that our frontline teams are now within 20 minutes of a Network Rail facility or alliance owned facility that is 24/7 accessible for welfare. Welfare doesn't get recognised as an engineering feat but our route has instilled humanity to our workforce by investing over £2m in our health and welfare of our frontline teams. A once in a generation opportunity we took and Cliff led this team en-route to a ground-breaking transformation of positive culture and investment in our people“
