With the next routes moving to a devolved structure in October 2011, new route managing directors for Kent & HS1, LNW and Wales have now been appointed.
The new route managing director for Western has also been announced as a result of the changes in Wales. All roles will be designate until the routes go live.
Dave Ward has been appointed RMD, Kent & HS1; Jo Kaye, RMD LNW; Mark Langman, RMD Wales and, in due course, Patrick Hallgate will take up the role of RMD Western – which will no longer include Wales.
“We’ve seen some outstanding candidates for these roles,” said Robin Gisby, Managing Director, Network Operations.
“Using an independent and objective approach, all candidates were assessed and rated against a comparable external benchmark, giving a clear picture of capability and potential for an RMD role.
“It’s been a rigorous and challenging selection process,” he continued, “and I’m confident we have the right people to take up the challenges and opportunities ahead.”
