TunnelSkills – who are we?

TunnelSkills is managed by a Management Committee. All members are invited to regular 'Forum' meetings, where we discuss topical issues around skills within the sector, including current and future training and qualifications. The strength of TunnelSkills lies in its diverse membership, delivering reach, perspective, and influence across the sector.
