Amey appoint Head of Mobility

Amey Consulting has appointed a new Head of Mobility to set out the company’s vision and strategy for the mobility sector.

Peter Williamson was Head of Delivery, ITS at Cubic Transportation Systems and has more than thirty years’ experience in the transport sector.  Amey says he joins at a “pivotal point” as it continues to develop and prioritise its mobility offering.

Williamson said, “I am really pleased to be joining the Amey Consulting team at a very exciting time, where new technologies like Connected Autonomous Vehicles and Mobility as a Service have the potential to revolutionise transport in the UK.

“Mobility in its widest sense is the ability to move freely. In transportation, it is about removing or reducing barriers to movement, for both people and freight. Therefore, as a designer and operator of transport networks, we must look for solutions that enable a journey to be undertaken seamlessly.

“Initially my main areas of focus are to understand the great work that is already been done within Amey and our parent company Ferrovial (for example, as part of the Midlands Future Mobility CAV testbed – which will offer 80 kilometres of urban roads in Coventry and Birmingham in a world-leading connected infrastructure and ecosystem) and to work with colleagues to understand how the skills and expertise of Amey Consulting can contribute to innovative mobility solutions.”
