Conway has a strong can do, will do attitude when it comes to driving through ideas/initiatives that help deliver work safely and productively. He takes great pride in his work and ‘walks the walk’ as well as ‘talking the talk’ and can often be seen on site providing leadership and direction to all those that work with him. Nothing is too much trouble and he is always willing to provide his experience, help and support to his colleagues within the industry – irrespective of who they work for.

A much deserved nominee and potential winner for the safety person of the year 2016“
