Lucy Prior

Business Growth Director

Trough-Tec Systems (TTS)

 
Lucy started her railway career as a sales executive within the train build and maintenance world, and since then she has held a number of commercially-focussed roles working in the rolling stock, infrastructure and digital sub supply-chains. In a previous role as a board member of the Rail Alliance, she actively worked to support and mentor SMEs and new entrants into rail to help them navigate the sector. It was during this time that Lucy became actively involved in supporting the Rail Supply Group with the creation of the Rail Sector Deal, ensuring that the wider supply chain was aware of its role in achieving the deal’s ambitions. At that time she also worked closely with the Department for International Trade, supporting companies on their export journeys and as a result was awarded an MBE for services to rail exports in the 2018 Birthday Honours List.

Lucy is now Business Growth Director at Trough-Tec Systems (TTS), responsible for the Doncaster-based company increasing its ever-widening reach in the rail industry, whilst building on diversified markets, such as utilities and nuclear.

Lucy holds a number of voluntary roles: she is the current Chair of RIA’s SME group and assists on the Rail Supply Group’s Export workstream, supporting the RSG’s aims of increasing exports and inward investment.  She is also an active ambassador for the Young Rail Professionals and Railway Children and volunteers as a Women in Transport mentor 

Lucy holds an BA in Modern Languages and European Studies and an MSc in Leadership and Management. She is mum to two young children, enjoys walking in the Peaks and is enjoying watching live music again!
