Alan Matthews joins Amaro as new Signalling Team Leader

Say “hello” to the latest addition to the Amaro team, our brand-new Signalling Team Leader, Alan Matthews!

Joining Amaro this time last week and taking on the role of Signalling Team Leader, he’s spent more than 30 years working in rail, first as a multi-discipline apprentice for First Great Western, and most recently as Signalling Team Leader on a range of installation, modification, and upgrade works for the likes of Hitachi, Network Rail and Babcock.

A hugely experienced chap and a massive asset to Amaro and its clients, he’s already adding significant value to the business.

Welcome on board, Alan!

The scene is illuminated by ambient lighting and shows railway tracks stretching into the distance, leading towards a well-lit station. The worker, equipped with a helmet and a bag, appears to be engaged in track inspection or maintenance duties.
