Alistair Kennedy Having graduated from the University of Surrey with a degree in Civil Engineering, Alistair began his working life with British Rail Research in 1985.

Alistair specialised in novel ways of managing the railway's track and structures assets, before moving on to producing safety cases for new rolling stock - such as Siemens' Heathrow Express trains.

In addition to helping steer the company through a period of major change, Alistair has been closely involved with a wide range of projects including, recently, a major review of DVLA's medical driver licensing process and working with the Rail Safety and Standards Board to develop an innovative safety model for DfT.
