A highly respected manager, SSOW planner and IRSE-licensed signalling professional, Ricky joined Amaro in August 2023 and quickly made a significant impact upon the team, supporting the delivery of some of our most challenging projects.

Joining Amaro has been a real eye-opener for me – the culture here is different to anything I’ve experienced before.

Amaro promotes professional development more than any other company I have worked with, or for, in the rail industry – and this applies to the whole workforce, not simply leadership and management.
