Speaking about his appointment, Mr Chutter says: “I am really looking forward to joining the team at Brighton and Hove and Metrobus. The company has always been held in high regard across the Go-Ahead Group and the bus industry as a whole, not only in terms of growth, innovation and customer satisfaction, but also in terms of the value it adds to the local community.
“To be part of a leadership team that drives the company’s future success represents a very exciting opportunity for me, where I can bring in new ideas and continue to build on the success achieved to date.”
Adds Brighton and Hove and Metrobus Managing Director Ed Wills: “Alex brings a wealth of expertise in delivering outstanding bus services for passengers. I would like to congratulate him on his appointment, and I know that he is very much looking forward to developing and delivering our ongoing business strategy for operations.
“With over 11 years’ experience, he has a comprehensive understanding of the industry and comes with a track record of operational success in building and managing bus businesses.”
