Today (30th September) is my final day as a Trustee Director of the railways pension schemes, a position I have held since February 2001.
I originally joined the rail industry as a Drivers Assistant straight from the most basic of education and with few qualifications at the age of 15.
I then embarked on a 41 year journey that I would not have believed I would have taken when I started on 16th June 1980.
I have been fortunate enough to grab every opportunity that presented itself to me and I am grateful for those that helped me along the way.
I would like to take this opportunity to say a big thank you to all at Railpen along with my fellow Trustee Directors for the help, encouragement and support that has been given to me over the past 20 years.
I have been proud to be associated with the schemes.
Best wishes
Dave
