Ray joined Bus Éireann in November 2016 as Chief Financial Officer and has led a very significant change and restructure as CEO, since January 2017.

Bus Éireann Chairman Aidan Murphy paid tribute to Ray’s achievement and dedication during his tenure: “On behalf of the Board and our staff, I would like to sincerely thank Ray for leading the business through an exceptionally difficult period in our trading history.

“He made a valued contribution by working closely with the Board to take, and implement, the very difficult decisions required to stabilise the financial position of the Company. Following a restructure of the business, he continued to work with all staff to ensure that all the recommendations included as part of a new Labour Court agreement, were fully implemented.” 

“This was a major achievement that has significantly helped to make the Company more customer focused and competitive – a necessity in this challenging transport environment and essential to ensuring the ongoing viability and recovery of Bus Éireann. Ray also made significant new appointments to the senior management team, which will ensure the Company is in good hands as he departs. We wish him and his family every success in the future.” 

Stephen Kent, Bus Éireann Chief Commercial Officer, has been appointed Acting CEO.
