We believe in recognising potential, investing in development and creating opportunities for our people to grow.As Renata celebrates five years with the business, we're reflecting on her journey from Compliance Administrator to Compliance Team Leader, the experiences that have shaped her career and the role she now plays in supporting our clients, candidates and wider workforce.​From New Starter to Team LeaderLooking back, Renata remembers the recruitment process as the first indication of the supportive culture that continues to define her experience today."Rachael was my first point of contact and she was really friendly. She explained the role really well and made the whole interview process a positive experience. There was loads of communication throughout the recruitment and onboarding process, so I always knew what was happening."Although Compliance was completely new to her, Renata quickly found herself surrounded by colleagues who were willing to share their knowledge and help her succeed."I didn't know much about Compliance, so there was a lot to learn. My colleagues were brilliant. They took the time to teach me, answered all my questions and introduced me to lots of key people across the business."​Growing Through OpportunityOver the past five years, Renata has progressed from Compliance Administrator to Compliance Coordinator before stepping into her current role as Compliance Team Leader.Alongside developing her knowledge of recruitment and the industries Ganymede supports, including rail and energy, she's also grown in confidence."It's definitely helped me become more confident and resilient, both professionally and personally."Having moved to the UK, working with colleagues across the business also helped Renata settle into a new environment and build confidence both in and outside of work.Ganymede has continued to support her development through a Level 3 Certificate in Leadership and Management, while also giving her the opportunity to become involved in areas beyond her day to day role, including external audits and wider business improvement initiatives.​Supporting Safe DeliveryBehind every successful placement is a robust compliance process and today Renata leads the team responsible for supporting all 10 Ganymede and ATA offices across the UK.From onboarding candidates and ensuring they meet legal, industry and client requirements to maintaining the accreditations our clients rely on, the Compliance Team plays a vital role in helping Ganymede deliver safe, high quality workforce solutions.One of Renata's proudest achievements has been helping Ganymede achieve the Workforce Assured accreditation, alongside her recent promotion to Team Leader."Being promoted has given me the opportunity to develop my leadership skills and take on more responsibility."​​A Culture That Supports PeopleWhen asked what has kept her at Ganymede for five years, Renata's answer is simple."The people are what make Ganymede such a great place to work. Everyone is friendly and supportive and it's a really nice team to be part of."She also values the opportunities to continue learning, spend time with colleagues through company social events and enjoy a healthy work life balance, all of which have contributed to a rewarding career.For anyone considering a career in compliance, Renata has some simple advice."Have the confidence to apply for roles, even if you think you don't have any direct experience. There are always transferable skills and Ganymede has allowed me to develop mine."​Lauren Bradford, Head of Compliance and Assurance commented:"Renata’s journey over the past five years is something I’m really proud of. She joined Ganymede with no previous compliance experience, but she’s taken every opportunity to learn and has grown into a Team Leader who plays an important role in supporting our business, clients and candidates.Her commitment, professionalism and willingness to keep developing herself really reflect the values we look for at Ganymede.Congratulations on this fantastic milestone, Renata.

​Rail Safety Week provides an opportunity for the industry to come together and think about what safety means in practice. Not just through policies and procedures, but through the choices we make every day.​At Rail Live 2026, we wanted to create something that encouraged visitors to stop for a moment and reflect on their own contribution to a positive safety culture.​To support Rail Safety Week, we introduced a pledge board on our stand and invited visitors to make a personal commitment towards creating a safer working environment wherever they go.​What started as a simple idea quickly became one of the most engaging parts of our stand.​Throughout the two days, visitors took the time to read the pledges already displayed, share stories from their own experiences and add commitments of their own.​Some focused on supporting colleagues, pledging to "Always be a shoulder to lean on #MatesinMind."​Others reinforced the importance of taking a moment to pause and reassess, writing;"Take 5! Life saving rules!"​Several visitors highlighted the need to speak up when something does not seem right, committing that; "If I see it, I will say it!!"while others emphasised the value of communication and understanding by pledging to "Listen and ensure full understanding of all site safety briefings."​The board created an opportunity for conversations that may not otherwise have happened at a busy industry event. Visitors spoke openly about the importance of speaking up, learning from incidents and ensuring safety remains a priority regardless of role, location or experience, to ensure everyone returns home safely at the end of each shift.​The enthusiasm shown by those who took part demonstrated just how willing people are to engage in conversations about safety when given the opportunity. It was encouraging to see so many professionals from across the rail sector sharing ideas and commitments, all united by the common goal of ensuring everyone returns home safely at the end of every shift.​Thank you to everyone who visited our stand, shared their experiences and added a pledge to the board.​Together, these small pledges represent a collective commitment to making our industry safer, stronger and more resilient, reflecting Ganymede's values and our belief that Safety First, Safety Always should underpin everything we do.​Hear from some of those who made pledges on the day:​

Rail Live 2026: Connecting with the Industry and Championing Safety​Over two days at Rail Live 2026, the Ganymede team were proud to exhibit alongside organisations from across the rail supply chain, reconnecting with customers, partners and industry peers while discussing the opportunities and priorities shaping the future of Britain's railway.​As one of the UK's largest outdoor rail exhibitions, Rail Live continues to provide a valuable opportunity to strengthen relationships, exchange ideas and showcase the expertise and tailored workforce solutions that support our customers in delivering critical rail infrastructure projects.​This year's event also coincided with Rail Safety Week, giving us the perfect opportunity to reinforce a message that underpins everything we do at Ganymede: Safety First, Safety Always.​To mark the occasion, we introduced a Rail Safety Week pledge board, inviting visitors to share a personal commitment towards creating a safer working environment wherever they go. Whether pledging to challenge unsafe behaviours, prioritise wellbeing or simply take a moment to check in with colleagues, each contribution demonstrated the collective responsibility we all share in maintaining a positive safety culture.​The pledge board sparked meaningful conversations throughout the event and served as a reminder that safety extends beyond policies and procedures. It is about the everyday actions and decisions that help ensure everyone returns home safely at the end of each shift.​Thank you to everyone who visited our stand, shared their experiences and added a pledge to the board. We look forward to continuing those conversations and working together to support a safer, stronger and more resilient railway.​

​Rail Safety Week: Why Recognising Fatigue Matters in Safety Critical Work​Fatigue is one of the most significant risks in safety critical industries. While it may not be as visible as other workplace hazards, its impact on concentration, awareness, reaction times and decision making can have serious consequences.Whether working on track, in a depot or travelling to and from site, fatigue can affect anyone. That is why, during Rail Safety Week, we are encouraging open conversations about fatigue and reinforcing the importance of Fitness for Duty across our workforce.​Why Fatigue Is a Safety RiskFeeling tired after a long shift is something most people will experience. However, fatigue goes beyond simply feeling tired.Fatigue can affect a person's ability to concentrate, process information and respond to changing situations. It can reduce awareness of hazards, increase the likelihood of mistakes and impact decision making, all of which are particularly important in safety critical environments.Common signs of fatigue can include:Difficulty concentratingForgetfulness or missed steps in a taskSlower reactionsReduced awareness of surroundingsChanges in mood or irritabilityRecognising these signs in ourselves and others is an important part of maintaining a safe working environment.​What We're Doing at GanymedeAt Ganymede, we believe managing fatigue is a shared responsibility and an important part of creating a strong safety culture.Over the coming months, we are continuing to strengthen our approach through updated fatigue awareness training for managers, helping them better understand the impacts of fatigue and how to support their teams.We are also placing greater emphasis on fatigue, Fitness for Duty and the ORR Fatigue Factors during our Safety Moment events. These sessions provide opportunities for our workforce to engage directly with our HSEQ team and senior leaders, discuss concerns and share experiences from across our projects and operations.Alongside this, we continue to work with the wider industry through our involvement in the Industry Fatigue Working Group, helping to share best practice and contribute to ongoing improvements in fatigue management.​How You Can Play Your PartManaging fatigue is not solely the responsibility of employers or managers. Every member of the workforce has a role to play.This Rail Safety Week, we are encouraging our operatives to:Be honest about how you are feeling. If fatigue could impact your ability to work safely, speak to your supervisor or manager.Look out for your colleagues. Sometimes the signs of fatigue are easier to spot in others than in ourselves.Get involved in Safety Moments and share your experiences, questions and ideas.Prioritise rest and recovery wherever possible, both during and outside of work.By working together and having open conversations, we can continue to strengthen our safety culture and help ensure everyone goes home safe at the end of every shift.​Join the Conversation This Rail Safety WeekAt Ganymede, we believe the best safety cultures are built on open conversations, shared responsibility and a willingness to speak up when something is not right.Fatigue can affect anyone, but by recognising the signs, supporting our colleagues and feeling confident to raise concerns, we can all play a part in reducing risk.This Rail Safety Week, we encourage everyone to get involved in the conversation, attend a Safety Moment and share their experiences.Because when it comes to safety, every voice matters and every action counts.​

​Celebrating Tom Cleverley's Five-Year Journey at Ganymede​This year marks a special milestone for Tom Cleverley as he celebrates five years with Ganymede and 10 years in recruitment.Over the past five years, Tom has built strong relationships with clients and candidates across the rail and civil engineering sectors, progressed into a Client Relationship Manager role and become a valued member of the Ganymede team. To celebrate the occasion, we sat down with Tom to reflect on his journey so far, the achievements he is most proud of and the advice he would give to those considering a career in recruitment.​A Decade in RecruitmentFor those who may not know Tom, his route into recruitment wasn't a traditional one."This year marks 10 years for me in recruitment as well as five years at Ganymede so quite a significant year for me professionally. I've worked full time since I was 16 years old, mostly in sales, marketing and coaching roles prior to my life in recruitment but can say hand on heart, I found my passion in recruitment.I've always been the type of person to get along with everyone and see the best in people. I try and be honest and direct both in my personal and professional life and I love nothing more than building lasting relationships, all of which I find now in my work.Joining the business five years ago from a standing start, I was taken aback by just how quickly my desk built up. Reconnecting with old clients and gaining new ones, the first 18 months on my road to promotion seemed to fly by with so many achievements along the way."​Growing in ConfidenceWhen asked about the biggest change he has seen in himself professionally since joining Ganymede, Tom points to the growth in his confidence."In all honesty, it's hard to put a finger on one particular big change. Joining with five years' experience already under the belt, there wasn't anything substantial that needed changing but more a lot of tweaks to polish up my quality across the board both internally and externally.If I was to pick one standout area, I'd say it's my confidence. I joined feeling a bit downtrodden after a couple of tough years working in other markets and around Covid and Chris O'Connor spent a lot of time with me early on, working on my imposter syndrome and helping to regrow my confidence in my own ability."​A Proud Career MilestoneOne achievement stands out above all others when Tom reflects on his career so far."I'd say my promotion to Client Relationship Manager so early on would be my proudest moment. When I joined, the CRM team was a relatively freshly established team but filled with the best. Mark, Katie and Chris stood out to me with how they went about delivering high-quality services to a portfolio of key accounts and I quickly decided this was the route for me.To be promoted into this role after less than two years in the business felt like the ultimate achievement and a real reflection of how much I'd developed professionally since joining Ganymede."​​The People Behind the ProjectsHaving worked closely with professionals across rail and civil engineering for many years, Tom says it is the people that continue to inspire him most."My favourite thing about the rail and civil engineering industries by far is the people. I find it incredible to see the variety of characters and experience spread across the sectors.One day I'll be speaking with a Master's degree qualified engineer, the next a Senior Programme Manager that worked their way up off the tools. There's no set route into any of the roles we deal with week by week and the diverse mix of personalities and experience is something that makes me aspire for my own children to move into Engineering and the technical sectors."​What Makes Recruitment Rewarding?While recruitment is often viewed simply as matching people to jobs, Tom believes there is much more happening behind the scenes."I think a lot of people don't realise what happens behind the scenes. For every job we raise or fill, months or years of effort have gone into developing relationships and trust with our clients to get the role.Candidates usually don't just appear or apply for the position. We've spent the same time building networks of candidates and understanding their next move or aspirations.Recruitment is all about relationships and understanding people. Helping clients find the right talent and supporting candidates with their next career move is one of the things I enjoy most about the job."​Why Ganymede?When asked what has made Ganymede the right place to continue developing professionally, Tom's answer was simple."The team around me. We genuinely have the best team I've worked with in my career, all likeminded, honest and friendly people who just want to do a great job and thrive."​Advice for Future RecruitersAfter 10 years in recruitment, Tom's advice to those starting out centres around patience, consistency and building relationships."The first couple of years in recruitment are where you build the foundations for your future success and I've seen some incredible recruiters grow during that time.Be patient, give it time, every call gets you closer to that relationship that lasts. My longest-running clients have worked with me for my entire career but they didn't come easily.Just work hard, trust the process and be patient and within three years, you'll see the reward of your hard work and honesty."​As Tom celebrates five years with Ganymede, his journey is a great example of how strong relationships, hard work and the support of a great team can help build a successful and rewarding career.Congratulations, Tom, on five fantastic years with Ganymede. We look forward to seeing what the future holds.
