Rail freight operator, DB Cargo UK, has announced that they have been awarded a number of awards at 2018’s Rail Freight Awards.

The introduction of the new Business Resource Planning Tool was awarded overall winner of the Innovation and Technical Development category.

The new tool has changed the way that DB Cargo UK manages services and has led to a big reduction in annual operating costs.

Rolling Stock Project Co-ordinator Connor Mason was also runner-up in the Young Rail Freight Professional category for his involvement and leadership in the conversion.

The winners were presented with their trophies at an informal dinner and ceremony, which was held at the De Vere Latimer Estate in Buckinghamshire.

“This is a fantastic achievement for all those involved and reinforces our commitment to lead the next generation of rail freight here in the UK.”
