Having started out my illustrious public service career as a nightwatchman at a local dump, a series of unexpected twists led me to a role at TfL’s Investment Delivery Planning section, where I help oversee the delivery of various active travel programmes amid (mostly) more salubrious environs.
In a bid to make myself obsolete, I’ve been co-managing TfL’s Transport Planning apprenticeship delivery since 2016, and have served as mentor to many of the star transport planners of tomorrow.
