Finally Rob Holden has been confirmed in post.
Crossrail has also appointed:
Valerie Todd as Talent and Resources Director (from TfL)
Lesley Calladine as Health and Safety Director (from Serco)
and
David Allen as Finance Director (from Laing O'Rourke)
At the point Holden joins the project Doug Oakervee will become non-executive Chairman.
Someone with a sense of humour has decided that this will take place on All Fools Day.
UPDATE: Captain Deltic wonders:
Does Valerie Todd's appointment presage a new TV Talent show, 'Strictly come project managing'?
Anyway, what's the difference between her role and that of a good old fashioned Personnel Manager?
Probably about £100k plus attractive package.
UPDATE: Captain Deltic riposts...
Is the Fact Compiler suggesting that Ms Todd is an attractive package?
At this point The Fact Compiler, preferring discretion to valour, withdraws from the field of battle...
