Senior transport planner Amy Tigg from JMP Consultants’ Glasgow office has been named the Institution of Highways and Transportation’s “Young Transportation Professional of the Year 2009”.

Amy, who has been with JMP for three and a half years, joined the IHT a year earlier.

The national award is presented to a young person who is considered to have made a significant voluntary contribution within the branch and/or national organisation of IHT for a period of not less than two years.

She became a member of the Central & Southern Scotland Branch Committee in 2007 and immediately impressed colleagues with her enthusiasm and energy. She has worked tirelessly to raise the profile of the branch and to deliver and support the branch events programme. She also organises meetings and workshops with an emphasis on qualifications and young members.
