Says Jim, ‘I am delighted to be made a director at NRL. Our rail business has gone from strength to strength and I look forward to developing the Rail division further, with the help of an excellent team.’

Mike Barber, managing director of NRL Ltd, says, ‘Jim has worked tirelessly over the last few years to build and develop our Rail Division and with the support and hard work of his loyal team he has created a fantastic business unit.

‘The team has, under Jim’s leadership, delivered consistently good financial results throughout 2011 whilst at the same time diversifying its supply capability.

‘There is already a strong order book and pipeline for 2012 and we are confident that the ongoing success of the Rail division will continue to contribute significantly to the NRL Group’s performance.’
