Sam Newman

Said the following about Rebecca Styles:

“Becky started her career at Northern in 2011 as a Conductor and became an Assessor a year later. Later, she would go on to be the Conductor Team Manager at Piccadilly. During this period she become ever more involved in various community related activities. It was with this in mind that she applied for the role of Regional Community and Sustainability Manager.

Since moving into the role, Becky has worked hard to forge positive relations with a range of stakeholders as well as stepping up and taking on additional responsibilities as Stakeholder Manager.

Becky is highly respected by colleagues both inside and outside the rail industry and will always try her best, whether it be meeting MPs and Councillors in and around the Greater Manchester area where she is based or initiating station project development work. She regularly goes the extra mile, including still carrying out Conductor duties or assisting with out of hours events such as the UCI Cycling Championships. She is always enthusiastic and positive about the role and is an ambassador for both Northern and for women working in rail.

Becky is keen both to learn more about different elements of the rail industry but also to impart knowledge to other members of the team. She has featured in the Manchester Evening News, as she regularly plays an active role in this area by both attending regular events and working with local schools/colleges. In her spare time Becky volunteers in her local community, in particular her local running club and various homeless charities.
