“The Skanska VolkerRail JV engaged NTTX to undertake the detailed design, installation and commissioning of a PLC-based control system for the traction power network as well as the electrical interlocking of our HV network on the DLR extension to Stratford International. The project was quite complex and unique in that the introduction of the PLC-based control system was the first of its kind on the DLR network and therefore presented many assurance challenges.
“Throughout the duration of the project NTTX have provided a very professional and reliable service whilst meeting some very challenging deadlines. I am looking forward to working with NTTX again on our future projects.”
“Richard, I have been meaning to write earlier to thank you for the great effort you have personally put in with regards to our safety culture. I know that the team respect you and value your input as I do. Thanks again.”
(Regarding our consultant Richard Copeland.)
“Richard Lashwood is appointed interim head of operational and community safety. A permanent appointment will be confirmed in due course. Richard has strong safety credentials in railway management and as a professional safety adviser to a range of industries. He has led our work to secure our Safety Certificate from HMRI to CrossCountry. This team has balance and a mix and breadth of experience which will enable us to lead the very professional people who will be part of the new CrossCountry in November and to take forward our ambitious plans for this exciting franchise.”
I commissioned NTTX to lead the safety & security components of the bidding, mobilisation and initial operation of the rail franchise. The team were professional and well motivated and played an important part in the early success of the franchise.”
"NTTX has provided Irish Rail with a level of consultancy that is both professional and highly competent."
"In particular, the intuitiveness of its staff has helped to provide insightful and intelligent solutions facilitated by a clear demonstration of understanding of their clients needs and business."
"I am transferring from the facilities management unit to the IT division within the Department when I return from leave in August, and in wrapping up here, I just thought I’d say my farewells to you both and thank you for your assistance over the past two years.
“We have made huge strides in terms of our approach to H&S in the department since you started the assignment and I certainly count the ‘revamp’ of H&S as one of my main achievements during my time in facilities. That I can say is in large measure down to the commitment, knowledge and professionalism you brought to the assignment.”
(Commenting on the service provided by Richard Lashwood and Nigel Dodman.)
“I can say with some confidence that the quality of the document is excellent and is truly reflective of both local and global contributions. On behalf of Birmingham, I would like to thank everyone who has been involved in this phase of the process but special acknowledgment should go to Pete Thomas who has both co-ordinated this submission and has made significant contributions to the content,”
(Relating to Pete Thomas, our consultant who has been managing the re-bid for their £30 million a year social housing contract.)
“Magnificent! If you ever want a job as a partnering director, you know where to come!”
(Regarding Pete Thomas and in relation to the bid submission for Watford Social Housing tender.)
"Andrew has a great breadth of experience in health and social care that he brings to every encounter. His first concern is always: ‘How can we do things better?’ and this humanitarianism informs everything that he does. Andrew and I are working hard to bring together NTTX and my University to work in conjunction with the World Health Organisation to develop and deliver innovative and very needful distance learning training in health policy development. This is a challenge, but one worthwhile pursuing."
"Andrew worked with Sefton Borough Council and local partners in the late Spring and early Summer 2011 to help us explore how social value could be used to enhance our commissioning processes and move further on the journey to becoming a Commissioning Council."
“This was a turbulent time for all partners undergoing rapid change and Andrew’s experience in partnership working enabled him to recognise the impact upon the partners involved and sensitively tailor the workshops to recognise and capture these dynamics.”
