National Express West Midlands has announced that its Commercial Director, David Bradford, has been promoted to become its bus division’s Managing Director.
“I’m delighted to be taking over as MD of our bus businesses,” says Mr Bradford, who worked in First Group’s rail and North American operations previously.
“This is an exciting time for public transport in the West Midlands – there’s massive investment into our region. And the only way to accommodate this growth is through better public transport. We are investing millions to meet this challenge – in vehicles, in facilities, in technology and in our people,” he says.
Mr Bradford says the bus businesses are carrying “more happy passengers, more safely than ever” this year. But he stresses the need to continue to earn the right to serve customers.
“Whether its innovations like contactless or electric buses; relentlessly tackling congestion and delays; or just a smile – it’s all about the delighting the people we carry. And my focus will be on working with our people to ensure we do our customers proud.”
Tom Stables is to continue as MD of National Express UK & Germany, overseeing the national white coach network, bus operations, contract businesses, and the company’s German rail interests.
