Nominations for Rail Person of the Year

Joshua Slater

Said the following about Leigh Chapman:

“Leigh recently took on the role of Business Development Manager for our Connectors business. He is extremely innovative and dynamic in his approach helping to swiftly develop and deliver on specific customer requirements for the high reliability challenges of the rail industry.

Joining the business as an apprentice, Leigh has at one time or another occupied a role with most departments in the organisation meaning he has a well-rounded perspective for dealing with both internal and external stakeholders always generating and executing projects and tasks effectively without fail.

His experience from his time in engineering is particularly evident in supporting and delivering on our NPI roadmap ensuring the launch of four new rail new product introductions in 2019 alone.

His overall contribution to our Connectors business in Abercynon is hugely significant and it's my pleasure to nominate him for such an award!“
