Two Go North East team members, with combined experience of over 40 years have been appointed to its senior management team.
Celebrating her 25th anniversary, Shirley Connell – now divisional manager – started life at Go North East as a driver.
Says Shirley: “My favourite part of the job is working with people and getting feedback from our team members, so I bring that invaluable insight to our meetings.”
Stephanie Young joined as the first in-house occupational health nurse in January 2000. 17 years on and she is now risk manager.
“My appointment to the senior management team allows me to contribute broader business issues at a strategic level and as a female in a heavily male-dominated industry, inject a different perspective particularly relating to equal opportunities, diversity and inclusion.” Says Stephanie.
Kevin Carr, Managing Director at Go North East, says: “Shirley and Stephanie are valuable appointments to our senior management team.
“Both have incredible and varied insight into the business, each from different perspectives, which is invaluable in helping maintain our position as the largest bus operator in the region.”
