Shaun Kenneth
Nottingham’s tram network, Nottingham Express Transit (NET) has appointed a new network and security manager.
With more than 14 years of experience in the transport and light rail sectors, Shaun Kenneth joins the NET team to strengthen the network’s stringent safety plans, and to help increase the overall resilience of the trams across Nottingham.
Over the coming months, he’ll be drawing on the experience gained from his time leading the metro mobilisation in Doha and Qatar, and his work supporting transport safety planning for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
In his new role, Kenneth aims to enhance NET’s incident management process and strengthen its adverse weather procedures to better support maintenance and driving staff as well as tram users.
His work will also see him engage with local stakeholders to invest in NET’s role as a key pillar of support for local emergency services, including Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service and Nottinghamshire Police.
Kenneth said: “Nottingham’s resilience as a city has shone through in recent times, as has the tram network’s positive impact on the city, with the network proving to be an integral part of the city’s infrastructure. As a key transport provider, NET’s aim is always to improve how it operates, and a key part of that is ensuring it makes the network as safe as possible for the many people who rely on it every day.
“I see my new role as being proactive rather than reactive, ensuring that none of our safety processes become stagnant and that we are continuously improving. Consistent best practice and efficient training plans for our staff are key for our development as a sustainable business, and I’m looking forward to supporting NET’s goals towards growing our safety capabilities.”
