Lucy Gillespie

Said the following about Anika Shenfield:

“Having worked with Anika for the past 4 years I believe it is time she is recognised for her dedication, professionalism, and understanding of developing and investing in people within the Rail Industry.

All the learners that go through programs at Freightliner get the best possible learner experience with Anika facilitating briefings, following through instructions to training teams, and ensuring everyone in the process is fully up to date with the requirements of programs.

When new Train Driver Apprentices start with Freightliner Anika organises for them to get their details across to the apprenticeship provider, signs off their paperwork, and ensures they are aware of locations. Then checks in on inductions then meets up for regular updates on their progress right up to certification.

She is approachable and respectful to the needs of all and identifies opportunities to help their development. Bringing people together to ensure a smooth plan is implemented and carried on right through to its fruition.“
