Yesterday, we had the great pleasure of hosting our first Collaborative Leaders in Rail lunch at the House of Lords. Our Chairman, Lord David Evans, welcomed leaders from Network Rail and other executive network members operating in the rail sector for this networking event.

Our CEO, Frank Lee, highlighted the importance of progressive and deeper collaboration as a key enabler for the safe, timely, and efficient delivery of the CP7 portfolio. He emphasised how ICW members are demonstrating their commitment to collaboration through their participation in ICW Thought Leadership activities.

We also had the honour of awarding our first Declaration of Leading Edge Achievement to the TRU West Alliance. This is a fabulous achievement that showcases the ability of our Ambassador members, BAM and Network Rail, along with other supply chain partners, to deliver real additional value through their structured collaborative systems.

We also awarded our prestigious Collaborative Pioneer Award to two ICW members who have made enormous contributions both to The Institute and to collaboration in the rail sector over a considerable period. Many congratulations to Stephen Blakey and Brian Walton.
