She will join from Govia Thameslink, where she held the position of Chief Operating Officer and replaces Nicola Shaw, who left HS1 Ltd in May. It is anticipated that she will formally join the business in January 2017.

Its growth and performance in the last 9 years are testament to its success and I look forward to leading the business and helping continue this success for customers and passengers alike.”
