Ruth Busby, People and Transformation Director (Regional) for GWR and Network Rail Wales and Western, and non-executive director at Youth Futures Foundation, has been awarded an OBE ‘for services to diversity in the rail industry’.
Her award recognises not just her work within GWR and Network Rail, but the numerous other organisations she represents to help revolutionise the railway.
Over the past couple of years, she has worked with the Department for Transport, the Samaritans, and Mental Health at Work, to lead a research study on mental health and wellbeing across the rail industry.
As one of our non-executive directors, Ruth works to improve employment outcomes for young people from marginalised backgrounds and is currently chair of our People and Culture Committee and Employer Advisory Board.
