Managing Director - Storx - 16 May 2023
There's been discussion about this on another forum and no-one has a clue but does anyone know if there is one for Arriva North East / Northumbria / Yorkshire lately?
It appears that everyone has quit / retired over the past year (Knox and Pearce) but there's no sign of any replacements or they're staying well hidden from the public at least.
Anyone know?

Isn’t the Arriva model now more centralised, ie a Commercial Director will now report to a Group Commercial Director, rather than the local Managing Director?

Honestly not too sure if I had to be honest, would make sense though since there's no signs of any MD's nowadays up here or to be honest half the time any form of local leadership lately as some of decisions are a bit questionable ie. shutting a depot and then being surprised that there's a driver shortage.

MD became Operations Director instead, as Dan suggests, they have a more centralised department structure now.
However the Ops Director role wasn't filled and I believe it is Howard Farrell managing both North West and North East as Ops Director.

Thank you for that, would make sense on why I can't find anything then.
