GB Railfreight has confirmed that Alex Kirk has been selected for the General Infrastructure Manager role within their company.
Alex brings invaluable knowledge and experience from his previous positions at Network Rail, serving as Route Freight Manager in Wales and Route Logistics Manager in Wessex, where he first met the team he will now work with.
Growth within GBRf in recent years has led to the company becoming a major firm in rail freight in the UK, accounting for 23% of all UK rail cargo, with their over 52,000 trainloads a year bring £200,000,000 in annual revenues.
With the UK slowly recovering from the impacts of the COVID-19, Alex and his department are set to play a key role in ensuring products shipped by GBRf are transported efficiently and effectively.
GB Railfreight's Commercial Director Liam Day commented on the appointment saying “The railway has an important role to play in helping the UK to recover from the COVID-19 crisis and our infrastructure team will be playing a significant role in supporting the sector. I am extremely pleased that Alex has joined us as the team's General Infrastructure Manager. Alex brings great knowledge of the things that are most important to our customers and a real desire to make a difference. He is a fantastic addition to the team.”
Alex Kirk said “I am absolutely delighted to be appointed General Infrastructure Manager. Having worked with GBRf as a customer, I can't wait to get stuck in and see if from the other side. This is an unusual time to start a new job, but I am looking forward to working with the team to help our customers in delivering recovery and future growth for the railway in the UK. I am thrilled to be part of the GBRf family!”
