In his new role at the helm of Lonsdale Rail, Stacy is committed to further establish and position the brand as the industry leader.

“It’s a privilege to have been given this opportunity by Gary Herbert and the rest of the Michael Lonsdale Group board. When I first met Gary, I was excited by his vision and ambition for Rail – and his determination to combine deep rail experience with the scale and results-driven mentality within the wider group.” – Stacy Benson, Lonsdale Rail.

Taking the lead on all major rail projects, Stacy’s five-year vision is to transform the division into the UK’s largest MEP supplier in rail with unrivalled delivery capability. His foresight doesn’t stop there, with a personal mission to bring more equality and diversity to the sector, impressing the importance of the Group’s EDI values.

“As a dad to three young daughters, I have a personal reason for making careers in rail and engineering accessible and with equal opportunities for all. Joining Lonsdale Rail at the start of its growth phase, I’m fortunate to have the opportunity to shape this from day 1 and scale a division founded on EDI.” – Stacy Benson, Lonsdale Rail.

Sustainability and social values are also high on the agenda, reflecting Stacy’s ethos and Michael Lonsdale Group’s long history of driving real benefits to the local communities they operate in, along with reducing the environmental impact of each activity.
