Nigel Ash, Global Managing Director of NRC, said: “We are delighted to welcome Gordon to NRC in the Middle East. His experience sets him in good stead to deliver further growth in the region and expand our portfolio.”
Gordon’s career started in 1991 as a graduate civil engineer on the British Rail Management Training Scheme.
He directly experienced the privatisation of the UK railways when working through British Rail in Scotland’s privatisation transformation to First Engineering.
Gordon then moved into working on the design and development of major rail projects as part of the Strategic Rail Authority’s 10-year plan, culminating in major upgrades to the UK’s East Coast and West Coast mainlines.
