Garry started his career as an apprentice mechanical/electrical fitter in the Traction and Rolling Stock workshops of British Railways. A 25-year career in the UK rail industry, in both the public and private sectors, saw him manage rolling stock fleets for passenger and freight operators, studying Electrical and Electronic Engineering.
Garry joined the Public Transport Authority in Perth, Western Australia as the head of rolling stock and lead the PTA’s new railcar project through Business Case, procurement and into production.
He is now the Executive Director for PTA Project Delivery, responsible for a portfolio of projects that includes the High Capacity Signalling upgrade to the Perth rail network.
Garry will provide Horizons West participants with insights from both UK and Australian contexts, and a deep understanding of what it takes to align systems, safety and strategy across jurisdictions.
