    Rail Accident Investigation Branch UK (RAIB), Chief Inspector

    BSc Hons CEng FIMechE I joined British Railways in 1979 and during my time there was promoted through a series of roles, culminating in running the train depot in Brighton with a team of around 120 technical and operational staff.In 1987 I took up a role with the Singapore Government to set up and run the maintenance of what was then the world's most advanced mass rapid transit system. By 1991 the system was fully operational and delivering positive and lasting benefits for those that lived and worked there.In 2003 I was appointed by the Secretary of State for Transport in the UK to create and lead the independent Rail Accident Investigation Branch UK (RAIB). The RAIB is now a leading world-class organisation which undertakes around 25 investigations a year. All RAIB's reports are public and contain recommendations which aim to prevent future rail accidents.
