Transport for the North appoint new directors
Transport for the North has appointed two new directors to its finance and strategy departments.
The organisation, which helps with transport improvements across the North of England, announced the new appointments this week.
Interim finance director Paul Kelly has been promoted to finance director. He joined TfN from Transport for Greater Manchester in 2018 where he was head of financial and commercial for Metrolink.
Mr Kelly said:
“It is an honour to be appointed to this position and to have the opportunity to support Transport for the North as it transitions to a new structure and further embed its role for the North.”

Meanwhile, the new strategy, policy and communications director has been named as Katie Day. Katie’s last role was as director of policy and communications at the Office for Nuclear Regulation.
Ms Day said:
“I am delighted to be joining TfN, and I am looking forward to leading our work on the refresh of the Strategic Transport Plan and the Northern Independent Economic Review.
“It’s vital more than ever that we build a fresh evidence base to make the case for greater investment in the North.”
