On the move: the latest East Midlands hires
Nottingham City Transport has hired David Conway as its new head of operations.
Nottingham-born Conway joins NCT from Cardiff Bus, where he was service delivery director for over three years, guiding the business out of the pandemic and introducing 55 electric buses into service in the Welsh capital.
Prior to his time at Cardiff Bus, he joined the industry through the Stagecoach graduate scheme in 2008, which led to opportunities across the country including Devon, Lincolnshire, Manchester, South Wales and the London Olympics in 2012.
Conway said: “After eight-and-a-half years across the border in Wales, I’m delighted to have returned home to join an operator that inspired me to take up a career in the bus industry and am looking forward to getting involved in the continuing success of NCT.”
NCT’s managing director, David Astill said “I am delighted to welcome David Conway to NCT. He has amassed a wealth of operational experience at a senior level with Stagecoach and Cardiff Bus. Mixed with his knowledge of the Nottingham area I am sure David will make a positive contribution to the future success of this business.”
