“Louise has been an inspiration in improving the safety culture on the Greater West Route. She has developed into an aspring leader that takes a practical and throughtful approach to safety and has single handedly changed the face of the H&S contractors community forum by focusing on culture, values and behaviour, bringing together individuals from different parts of the route to drive change and improve safety performance.

Louise has been an inspiration in improving the safety culture on the Greater West Route. She has developed into an aspiring leader that takes a practical and thoughtful approach to safety and has single handedly changed the face of the H&S contractors community forum by focusing on culture, values and behaviour, bringing together individuals from different parts of the route to drive change and improve safety performance.

Personally I am very proud of her and her meteoric rise from being an Environmental Specialist to Head of S&SD within a few years, her approach to leadership and getting buy in at all levels is something we should all learn lessons from, not only is she an inspiration to her peers, but for women and young people in the Infrastructure Sector.“
