Barry White, Transport for the North’s new Chief Executive, has taken the first steps in leading the organisation in its most monumental year to date.
Barry is at the forefront of Transport for the North as it builds on the momentum of the Strategic Transport Plan launch which took place on 16 January, and as the organisation continues its efforts to become England’s first Sub-national Transport Body from April.
He says: “I am thrilled to join Transport for the North at such a busy and exciting time for the organisation, and indeed the North as a whole.
“On my first day in post, 10 January, the House of Commons voted overwhelmingly in favour of Transport for the North becoming the first sub-national Transport Body.”
This support endorses Transport for the North’s vision of a thriving North of England, where modern transport connections drive economic growth and support an excellent quality of life.
