Squadron Leader Stuart Masters, the lead for the Royal Air Force Brize Norton Road Safety Team was announced as the RAF Safety Centre trophy winner 2025, for his outstanding innovation and commitment, driving a fundamental and measurable improvement
in safety culture across the RAF’s largest station.
With a high operating tempo and complex infrastructure, with thousands of vehicle movements daily, Squadron Leader Masters delivered a sustained programme of innovation, education and infrastructure improvement.
Overseeing 16 major road safety initiatives, including station wide Road Safety Week, interactive Road Safety Roadshow, reaching over 4,000 personnel, the hard hitting Survive the Drive presentation and an extended Christmas Drink Drive Campaign resulted in a measurable decline in incidents.
This influence has extended across every rank and department, creating a unified approach to road safety that has demonstrably reduced risk and enhanced operational resilience.
Receiving the trophy from Air Commodore Sam Sansome, Squadron Leader Stuart Masters said:
"I’m immensely proud to accept the 2025 RAF Safety Trophy. This award is a testament to the outstanding team at RAF Brize Norton. This achievement highlights their dedication, initiative, and unwavering commitment to keeping our people safe. Empowering them has been a privilege - this award belongs to all of us."
