Sad to see @Paultuohy retire from 4 years at the helm of @CBTransport .
I have throughly enjoyed working with him! We have achieved so much under his stewardship and we are now ready for the next chapter.
There is much to do and we will start the search for the new CEO soon.
🚨Some news...
Our CEO of four years @Paultuohy will retire next year. We are extremely grateful to Paul for all his hard work and dedication over the past four years.
Recruitment for our next CEO will begin soon and Paul will stay in post until a successor is appointed.
ALT “It has been a privilege to head up Campaign for Better Transport over the past four years. I came into post during the pandemic and at a very difficult time for both the passenger transport network and charities in general. After four years I am pleased to say that both have recovered and, thanks to our hard work, transport is a priority for the new Government with its commitment to deliver ‘the biggest overhaul to transport in a generation’. As the national transport charity, this makes Campaign for Better Transport’s work more important than ever.” -Paul Tuohy, Campaign for Better Transport

It can be done.
We have the solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate
