The RailStaff Awards 2024

Shane Andrews MBE

Said the following about Harry Levey:

“Harry joined Network Rail less than a year ago and opted to join the Network Rail's LGBT+ employee network, Archway, as their Prides & Sparkle officer.

In that time, Harry's enthusiasm and diligence has delivered great results. He's doubled the amount of prides that Network Rail supported compared to the previous year, leading 14 Prides across the country from Edinburgh to Newquay and Cardiff to York. He also arranged Network Rail's attendance at a Sparkle event in Manchester too.

Harry's helped orchestrate 504 people, across 14 prides, with 26,000 giveaways handed out to over a million people in crowds watching. A post event survey demonstrated an impressive 97.2% of employees who attended were highly satisfied. What's even more impressive, is Harry's Archway role is in addition to his day job, meaning that 99% of his pride efforts were delivered in his own time.

All of this supports Network Rail's aims of demonstrating itself as an inclusive employer.“
