Said the following about Stacy Thundercliffe:

“Stacy joined us just over a year ago as our new Head of Fleet & Engineering and she has really brought a new perspective and focus to the team, shifting the dynamic and bringing us together to deliver for the rest of our business, and most importantly our Customers.

With the introduction of the new Hitachi trains and refurbishment of the Pendolinos, Stacy continues to support the wider Fleet and Engineering team on these projects and the challenges we face.

Besides being a great leader, Stacy is also a very committed Engineer as a Fellow of the iMecheE and even finds the time to volunteer for school STEM activities and inspire the next generation of engineers. As a female Engineer myself, I find Stacy an inspiring role model to look up to, and gives me aspiration for what can be achieved. Her warming personality, combined with her ambition, knowledge, and great communication skills really makes her an asset to our team and wider business.

For these reasons, I think Stacy should be recognised for the impact she's had on our business just within the last year and I am excited to see what the future has in store for Stacy's career.“
