Neil Johnstone, President, CIHT said:

"The transportation infrastructure and services industry plays a vital role that impacts on so many parts of everyone’s day-to-day lives – from the delivery of goods and services deletion to facilitating the movement of people and enabling access to employment and social activities. The fantastic array of entries we have received this year have demonstrated the wide range of activity, innovation and problem solving that we as professionals deliver.

I would like to commend all of those who have been shortlisted for CIHT’s Awards and would congratulate all those organisations and their supporters who have put so much into the high-calibre entries this year."
