Nottingham City Transport has appointed Nigel Eggleton as its new operations manager.
With 44 years of experience in the bus industry, Eggleton has held senior roles at several operators, including Arriva, Go-Ahead, Transdev, and First Bus.
Beyond his career, he is actively involved in the transport sector, serving as Chairman of the Omnibus Society and president of the Leicester Transport Heritage Trust.
In his new role, he will lead a team of over 800 drivers and oversee service delivery to ensure reliable and punctual bus services across the city.
Eggleton said: “Joining a forward-thinking and highly professional bus company like NCT was an opportunity I couldn’t pass up. I look forward to bringing my many years of experience to the team and contributing new and innovative ways to support and value our 800 drivers.“
NCT’s head of operations, David Conway said: “I am delighted to welcome Nigel onboard. His wealth of experience, built over his long and varied career in the industry, will be of great value to both the Operations team and the future success of NCT.”
Northampton-based asbestos management consultancy, Acorn Analytical Services
has welcomed another eight new starters to the fold as the company continues to expand.
The group contains four new trainee asbestos surveyors, Tom Goudie, Benjamin King, Malachy Donno and Ryan Palmer, two new dual lab analysts and report writers with Nicholas Lyon and Samuel Hill and one housing officer, Chelsie Pryce.
King said: “I have been working at Acorn for about seven weeks now and I have to
say I had very little understanding of asbestos before I joined, but I feel that their training programme has taught me a lot already.

“I work with a lot of different surveyors, pulling knowledge from each of them, and they have all been friendly and very helpful. I enjoy the variety within the workday, no two days are the same, and there is lots to learn which is great.”
Nassidu Lugolobi has also been employed as an asbestos laboratory bulk analyst.
Head of operations, Daniel Crask said: “We’ve recruited consistently and strategically over the past 12 months to meet demand. Our trainees have been fantastic additions to the team and we have benefitted greatly from their willingness to learn and can-do attitude.
“Our other new recruits have added to our talented team perfectly and we’re very proud of the working community here at Acorn Analytical Services. We will continue to grow in 2025 and these new hires will be instrumental in achieving this.”
