MD of the Richard Armitage Transport Consultancy and Chairman of the TAS Partnership, Richard Armitage CMILT, has won the PTRC Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2013 Transport Practitioners’ Meeting Awards. Richard earned the accolade for his work in developing local community transport schemes since the 1970s, as well as what the judging panel called his ‘infectious enthusiasm’ for good local transport planning and provision. His award was presented by Steve Agg, Chief Executive of the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT).
