Go-Ahead appoints corporate communications director
19 Nov 2013
Sarah Boundy has been appointed as Go-Ahead Group's Corporate Communications Director. She has been covering the role since the departure of Samantha Hodder who left in the summer to be a director of Sydney Trains, Australia.
Sarah has worked in the transport industry for more than ten years, most recently as Head of Communications and Publicity at one of Go-Ahead's rail companies, Southeastern, where she was part of their executive team.
The role reports to David Brown, Group Chief Executive, and the remit is to work with the organisation's operating companies and all stakeholders to enhance the reputation of the Group. She has extensive communications and public affairs experience with previous roles in PR, publishing and broadcast journalism.
David Brown said: “We’re pleased to have Sarah joining us from Southeastern where she was instrumental in the introduction of the high speed service and in the successful delivery of rail transport for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.”
Sarah Boundy added: "I'm delighted to be joining Go-Ahead Group and look forward to working with the outstanding team here. High quality public transport is so important to the people who use it, the local communities it serves and the UK economy as a whole and Go-Ahead has a strong reputation as one of the UK's leading transport providers with excellent credentials in environmental standards and innovation."
