What Drives Her

Kirsty strives to make things happen, get things moving, unblock stuck things, and make project life easier for everyone involved. She works hard to ensure strong working relationships whilst being approachable and empathetic. She wants projects to be memorable for the right reasons and to make a positive difference in everything she does.

Back Story and Achievements

Kirsty comes from a Construction background, undertaking a degree in construction management whilst working part-time for a small Lincoln-based construction firm. She has extensive experience in project fields, from Town Centre redevelopments (Witney, Oxfordshire) to sustainable innovation projects (M&S Plan A, Ellesmere Port). Kirsty took a segway into railway, first learning all about operations and management of the railway, eventually moving back into construction-related projects within the railway environment. There she would build a close working relationship with Network Rail, Local Councils and the DfT by delivering many small and large-scale projects through a team of project managers to jointly bid and secure funding through transforming cities and levelling up funding.
