Colin was most recently an executive director for strategy at HS2 and will be directly responsible for operational performance and governance in his new role.
Geoff Banks, founder and managing director of ie people, says he believes his new venture can challenge the world of executive recruitment in the transport sector both in the UK and overseas.
A rail recruiter with more than 20 years in the industry, Geoff previously oversaw group sales and business development at RTC Group prior to launching ie people and has previously worked as an internal recruiter for CH2M and Bombardier Transportation.
