Network Rail is pleased to confirm that Mark Tarry has been appointed Supply Chain Operations director, succeeding Rob Morton, who recently became managing director for Route Services.
Mark is an inspirational and passionate individual with a unique set of skills and experience spanning 30 years across the rail industry. Starting his career under British Rail as a finance graduate, he subsequently qualified as a chartered

Most recently, Mark was responsible for Business and Technical Services; a large service organisation along with the delivery of multifaceted technical services and highly complex national programmes to both Network Rail and the wider industry.
Whilst in this role, Mark has been driving safety transformation across the whole of Route Services.

“I’m delighted to be taking on this new role and look forward to working with industry partners to make a sustained difference to the railway.
