HS1 Ltd appoints first Strategy & Regulation Director
HS1 Ltd has announced the appointment of its first-ever Strategy & Regulation Director as the company looks to bolster its regulatory affairs expertise at a crucial time in the rail sector.
Mattias Bjornfors, a regulatory affairs expert with over 18 years of experience, has been appointed to the role. As Strategy & Regulation Director, Bjornfors will help the company navigate upcoming key regulatory events and challenges – including the introduction of Great British Railways.
The role – which will take on responsibility for relationships with the Government, ORR and Great British Railways, as well as both present and any future operators – reflects the increasing importance for the rail industry to work effectively with the Government and for infrastructure operators to focus on its customers, as it handles some of the most significant challenges to the sector in decades.
As part of his role, Mattias will also develop and shape the strategic direction of the business to maximise opportunities for growth, in line with government objectives for the economy and the sector more broadly.
