Amey director Anna Delvecchio has secured a historic recognition at the London Transport Museum.

A portrait of the commercial account director was unveiled in honour of her leading work developing the Rail Sector Deal and promoting diversity and inclusion across the industry.

The Rail Supply Group presented Anna with the unique award at the museum on Monday evening, 17 June. Sir Peter Hendy, Chairman of Network Rail and trustee of the Museum, along with Rail Minster Andrew Jones were on hand to reveal the portrait.

Anna said: "I am incredibly humbled and grateful to the Rail Supply Group and the London Transport Museum for this incredible gesture. I am more committed than ever to continue what I have started and make the transport profession a more inclusive place for all."


Sir Peter Hendy added: "I am absolutely delighted for Anna and she fully deserves her place in history. We need more women in the transport profession. Her leading role in securing the Rail Sector Deal, as well as her work promoting diversity and inclusion, is an inspiration to all."


Over the last two years Anna has been co-leading the Rail Sector Deal, the rail industry's co-ordinated response to the government's Industrial Strategy. The ambitious proposal, which aims to meet key rail challenges, encourage cross-industry collaboration and drive innovation, was secured in December 2018.

Anna has also become a leading figure for diversity and inclusion for the transport and logistics profession. Anna is the Chair for the Women in Rail South Group and is also on the Women in Transport Board. She is an Everywoman Ambassador and in 2018 was named their 'Woman of the Year'.
