Steer Davies Gleave is delighted to have topped the shortlist for the Transport Consultant of the Year award at the 12th annual National Transport Awards.

The National Transport Awards, presented by the Transport Times, is a prestigious event recognising excellence throughout the UK's transport industry.

This year’s event, at the Riverbank Plaza Hotel in London, saw Steer Davies Gleave honoured in front of an audience of 600 guests across the transport industry.

SDG’s submission detailed three of its key strengths; fostering strong and rewarding client partnerships, leading the way with innovation and adding value through the efficient use of smart technologies.

National Transport Awards were handed out in other categories including: Public Transport Operator of the Year, IT Supplier of the Year, Road Safety, Traffic Management and Enforcement, Transport City of the Year and Achievements in Cycling.

Transport Secretary and National Transport Awards keynote speaker, Patrick McLoughlin said: “Good transport is vital – not just in helping us get around but also in driving economic growth, and central to an efficient transport network are the people who work day in day out to keep this country moving.
“These awards are a great opportunity to honour those within the sector who make all the difference, and I offer my warmest congratulations to them.”

Fred Beltrandi, SDG Executive Director, was delighted and said;  “The whole company is really thrilled to have won this award. I would also like to congratulate all of the other winners, including Cambridgeshire County Council for their Guided Busway and TfL for their London 2012 TDM programme, both of which we supported.”
