Robert Lane

Said the following about PPS Rail:

“I've decided to nominate PPS Rail Ltd for the Possession team of the year.

The reason I've done this is because when I came to PPS Rail Ltd I had recently left the Army with no we're to go and not much prospect of a future. I spoke to the RFEA (Regular forces employment agency) who suggested that working on the rail could be an option. I paid for the course's, but unfortunately cause I suffer from PTSD I was unable to work on track, this is when I met the guys at PPS Rail,

The managing director John Mills saw something in me, and decided to take me on as a planner, even though I had no rail experience at all . PPS Rail showed faith and had the courage to take a punt on the ex squaddie with an issue.

I feel and believe that this show's that to the outside the rail industry can be a closed shop to outsiders, if you find the right company with the right management who can show compassion and willing to teach. You can make a career in the industry.

The guys in PPS Rail have been very supportive, understanding and very professional, we're an integrated company everyone helps each other from the apprentice to the managing director's to the PTS staff, we all work as a team and strive to be the best in our field. We always go the extra mile to achieve this.

So this is why I believe we should win the award....“
