Thanks and farewell to BTPA Members

BTPA Member Graham Evans has resigned from his position on the Authority to allow him to concentrate on his work in the House of Lords.

Member Mike Gallop has also resigned his position on the Authority following his appointment to a new role which will see him relocated to the Middle East.

BTPA Chair Ron Barclay-Smith said: “Both Graham and Mike have brought a wealth of knowledge and expertise to their roles in the time they have been with us, and have worked hard and assiduously on behalf of the Authority. We are sorry to lose them, and I wish them all the best in their future endeavours.”

The Department for Transport will be launching a public recruitment process shortly for new Members of the Authority.

Finance and Audit Manager vacancy

BTPA is recruiting for a Finance and Audit Manager.

Now is an interesting time to work for BTPA as the rail industry faces a period of significant change in its recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the implementation of rail reforms including the establishment of Great British Railways to oversee rail transport following the Government’s review of the railways. The rail policing landscape is ever-changing, and BTPA’s central role means it is rare for any two days to look the same.

If you are a qualified accountant with experience of audit and knowledge of internal controls, please review the candidate pack below:
