Operation Unicorn wins Team of the Year at the Scottish Transport Awards

Partnership working to manage funeral cortege of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II

All at Amey are proud to be part of the team who received the Transport Team/Partnership of the Year Award at this year’s Scottish Transport Awards.

The award was recognition for our role in helping manage the funeral cortege of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II from Balmoral to Edinburgh.

Working in partnership the team delivered a professional and respectful movement of the late monarch’s coffin which was viewed throughout not just the United Kingdom, but the whole world.

The cortege was required just three weeks after Amey’s new north east team took over Transport Scotland’s improved roads maintenance contract for north east Scotland.

We would like to thank all of our staff and partners who worked tirelessly on this operation.

The plan was created in partnership with Transport Scotland, Police Scotland, BEAR Scotland, Balfour Beatty plc, Traffic Scotland, Aberdeenshire Council, Aberdeen City Council, Angus Council, Perth & Kinross Council, Dundee City Council, Fife Council and The City of Edinburgh Council.

We are proud to have played a significant supporting role during such a challenging time.
