PDS success for AtkinsRéalis

Many congratulations to Gemma Roffey from AtkinsRéalis who has completed the PDS and can now use the post nominal IncTP (Incorporated Transport Planner).  Gemma is based in Bristol and is the second person from AtkinsRéalis to complete this month – the first time two candidates from the same organisation have done this.  This is part of the picture of the growing number of PDS completions, across the UK, which achieved double figures for the first time in 2022 reached 13 in 2023 and is on track to exceed this in 2024.  The pathway to TPP is also clear, 10 PDS completers have already achieved CTPP.

“I am very happy to be able to say that I have successfully completed the PDS! My mentor Ben and colleagues within AtkinsRéalis have supported me throughout the process and completing the PDS feels like a great first step in my transport planning career. I am excited to see what the future holds!”

Keith Buchan, TPS Skills Director said:

"Congratulations to Gemma for her achievement, we welcome her to the growing community of transport planners who have completed PDS and can now also use the title Incorporated Transport Planner: IncTP.  AtkinsRéalis have participated in the PDS from the beginning in 2008 and have been an active supporter ever since.  Great to see two completions from them in December.  We look forward to more trainees following Gemma’s excellent example.”
