Haket signals departure to Keolis

This from Ruud Haket, currently MD of Greater Anglia...
 
I’d like to tell you that I have accepted the offer of a new role as Chief Operating Officer of Keolis’ UK business, so I’ll be leaving Greater Anglia in the near future. We’re still working out my leaving date and the Abellio team will now start the recruitment of a new Managing Director, so I’ll let you have more details about both of those things as soon as I have them.
