Going back to first principles is key to understanding any situation and roles. To be able to improve the working environment of those on public transport, either behind the wheel or sat behind, means rolling up your sleeves and doing the job first hand. It had been on my bucket-list to learn to drive more types of vehicles, so achieving a PSV licence was the first step.I believe that if we look at the whole process of travelling and transport vehicles, we can find fresh ideas which will make the process more inclusive and enjoyable for those already using the services and those who could be shown that there are alternatives which can be made more attractive

It's time to reinvent what we take as a fixed point of order. From the first evaluations of why we need to travel versus better ways of achieving the same results, is a fundamental question which few seem willing to engage with.Making cars electric is not solving congestion issues, making them bigger and heavier is definitely not a wise move, so the answers we are developing, look at those first principles in order to unblinker viewpoints and cast open eyes towards a more sustainable set of solutions and future.Skills: Creative & Strategic Design Director, Global Projects Experience & Design Development, Visionary & Innovator, Award Winning Designs and Concepts.

For more than 25 years now I have been travelling back n forth to Thailand, along with remote working in the UK, to create some amazing vehicles, such as their Transformer range. One of TRU's key capabilities which have brought all of these products from sketch to reality, is their truly unique and class-leading approach to adaptable tooling methods. This I believe, is something many others would greatly benefit from.
