BRYONY’S got to where you are. For me, having great mentors has made a huge
STORY difference to my career.
People within Arcadis have been very influential, encouraging me to follow
my passions, accept challenges, and embrace opportunities that arise.
There are so many fantastic people in the business who you can learn from
and who can give support and confidence.
But our industry is really struggling to breakdown diversity and inclusion
boundaries so it’s important for me to act as a role model for other people
in the business and show what can be achieved.
In the future, I want to continue to challenge stereotypes and perceptions
and set our organisation apart from others. I believe we can only attract a
diverse workforce by acting like a diverse workforce.

London Bridge Station
The transformation of London Bridge
Station is part of Network Rail’s
£6.5bn Thameslink Programme
and one of the most complex and
ambitious rail station redevelopments
in the UK to date. As the fourth
busiest station in the country,
increased capacity has been provided
by creating new platforms for more
trains, building a new concourse, and
developing a bigger and better station
for passengers. Crucially, as a key part
of the rail network it was not possible
to close the whole station. This meant
that the £1bn re-development had
to be undertaken while the station
continued to handle up to 52 million
passenger journeys a year.
