What is your current role?
I am a Regional Director in the transportation section of a large multinational, multidisciplinary consultancy, currently overseeing the development of our bus planning business.
What are you working on now?
Currently, my main projects include developing a strategy for public transport ticketing for the Glasgow Commonwealth Games and preparing a proposal to design a substantial bus network in the Middle East.

- I don’t like being pigeon holed, finding myself having to work continuously on the same type of projects, just because I’ve done them before. I’m always looking for a new challenge, and while sometimes that can be done within the same company, it often pays to move because you can pick up more variety of experience.
- Having completed a Geography degree and a Transport Planning MSc, I had several junior roles in transport planning consultancies, where I developed public transport demand forecasting skills through working all over the UK on a range of projects, including rail franchises, tram schemes and fares & ticketing arrangements.
