Finch to Head National Express
January Issue 2010
 Tube Lines Chief Executive, Dean Finch, is to join National Express as its new Chief Executive this spring.
Mr Finch worked for over 10 years in senior roles within FirstGroup plc. He was Managing Director of the Rail Division from 2000 - 2004 and then was appointed to the FirstGroup main board as Group Commercial Director in 2004, before being made Group Finance Director.
With the completion of the Laidlaw acquisition he became Chief Operating Officer in North America before returning to the UK as Group Chief Operating Officer.
Says John Devaney, Executive Chairman of National Express, ‘I am delighted to welcome Dean to National Express. His extensive experience of the transport sector, in Europe and North America as well as the UK makes him uniquely qualified to run a business of this scope and scale.
'He has a proven track record of improving operational performance and delivering financial success in bus, coach and rail businesses.’ The move follows Richard Bowker’s departure for the middle east.
