Transport and infrastructure issues

The transport and infrastructure industry remains one of the most challenging sectors to work in. From new runways to new railways, rail re-franchising to airport ownership, the huge levels of investment and long-term planning required, coupled with a revolving door at the department of transport, means that change management skills are in demand.
