Network Rail Consulting appoints Keith Ludeman

Keith Ludeman has been appointed as a non-executive director of Network Rail Consulting.

Ludeman most recently worked as the chief executive of Go-Ahead Group, from 2006-2011, and has also served as a non-executive director of Network Rail.

He joins chairman Simon Kirby, managing director Nigel Ash and group finance director Patrick Butcher on the board of directors for the global consulting business.

Network Rail Consulting is a subsidiary of Network Rail that aims to demonstrate British expertise overseas, as well as helping to channel innovation back into Network Rail core business for the UK.

The company offers consulting services across strategic planning, asset management, capital projects, operations and maintenance.

Kirby said: “Keith Ludeman brings with him decades of experience of leadership in the transport industry, both in Britain and overseas. His addition to the board of Network Rail Consulting will provide first-hand, commercial expertise and corporate oversight as we look to demonstrate the best of British expertise around the world.”

Kirby has previously said the new business is more about “changing perceptions” than raising fresh revenues for Network Rail.
