“It’s an exciting time at Incremental and I can’t wait to get started. They are a company I‘ve previously admired, and am excited to be joining an established team of passionate and extremely knowledgeable people, with an excellent offering to help  improve the railway. I’m looking forward to what we can achieve and how we can expand the business together.”

David Thornton, Finance Director concluded;
“Incremental’s reputation in the market and Dan’s vision for the future were quite compelling to me and I’m pleased to be joining this business. There’s lots of challenges in the rail industry, however Incremental have so many tools in place to help improve it in many areas.”
