Recognising Personal Triumphs
Emma Phillips, Major Projects Manager; Phil Fricker, Design Technician; and Abby Perry, Innovation and Continual Improvement Manager have each successfully earned the Institute of Highway Engineers (IHE) Temporary Traffic Management certification.

This prestigious certification was awarded after they completed a comprehensive and demanding two-part course designed specifically for professionals in the design and planning of temporary traffic management on highways. The IHE’s Professional Certificate in Temporary Traffic Management Engineering serves as a testament to their expertise and competence in this critical field, reinforcing their professional standing within the highway industry.
