ROZ Golds is really going places after making the finals of a top transport awards scheme.

The 31-years-old from St John's, Worcester, who works for coach company National Express, has been shortlisted in the Freight Transport Association’s everywoman in transport and logistics awards.

Ms Golds has been selected as finalist in the scheme’s ‘innovation’ category for her Military Promise initiative, a commitment to support the Armed Forces and wider forces community, which attracted praise for the company from Prime Minister David Cameron.

Among a host of other benefits, under the industry-leading Military Promise, National Express supports veterans to get back into work through tailored interview skills sessions and offers free travel for people training assistance puppies that will support those injured in service, a scheme believed to be the first of its kind in the UK.

Maxine Benson, co-founder of everywoman, said: “This year’s finalists are the role models who demonstrate the industry is open to all backgrounds and skill-sets and that it welcomes talented and ambitious women. We know these finalists will inspire others to follow in their footsteps.”

The awards ceremony takes place on Wednesday, June 3, at London’s Hilton hotel on Park Lane with a host of the biggest names in UK transport represented, including Transport for London, Crossrail, and DHL.
