With a number of years’ experience in HR, I joined Amaro having never worked in the railway industry. Micky and the team have been super supportive and made me feel included and at home straight away.

Not only am I proud to be a part of a supportive and inclusive organisation, I’m also glad to be part of one which has a solid commitment to the continuous professional development of all its employees. This sets Amaro apart from all the other places I have worked.
