Said the following about Ellis Wood:

“Ellis Wood has been and continues to be a pillar of the Northern Trains TSO contract.

His ability to motivate those around him couple with a keen eye for detail makes him a pivotal part of an operation tasked to maintain safety and security across the whole of the NTL network.

Ellis prides himself on his articulate and thorough approach to achieve the best possible results whilst actively promoting best practice within our teams of RSAS accredited security professionals.

He consistently puts others before himself whilst always offering advice and guidance to those around him seeking support, a trait which has seen him progress from officer right through to the senior management team within only a couple of years operating on the contract, this only highlights his ability and qualities.

Ellis is a standout performer in all that he puts his mind to and works alongside the account manager to deliver an award winning service whilst driving innovation throughout our teams spread across 4 different regions.

Ellis Wood is a leader within a team of leaders and someone who others regularly turn to for advice, coaching and guidance, a task that is never a chore and always something he relishes and enjoys seeing others develop and progress similar to how he has to reach his current managerial status.

An individual worthy of such an award and one in which we are extremely lucky to be blessed with his knowledge, passion and enthusiasm on the railway network.“
