New chairman-designate for Network Rail
Network Rail has confirmed the appointment of its new chairman-designate, following Rick Haythornthwaite’s decision to step down from the position.
Professor Richard Parry-Jones CBE started with the company this week as a non-executive director, and will take up the position as chairman if his appointment is ratified by members at the company’s AGM in July.
Prof Parry-Jones was previously a non-executive director of GKN plc and Cosworth Group Holdings as well as being council member of the Royal Academy of Engineering and of Bangor University. He is pro chancellor of Loughborough University and a visiting professor in the faculty of engineering.
