Stagecoach Merseyside, Cheshire and South Lancashire (MCSL) has strengthened its team with the appointment of a network manager.

David Rich, 23, joins the team having completed a two year graduate trainee scheme with the bus operator. His new role is based at Stagecoach’s Gillmoss depot in Liverpool where he is responsible for the commercial viability of its bus network. He is the first person to hold this position in the region.

Manchester-born David started working for Stagecoach in 2015 after he graduated from the University of Durham. During the graduate scheme, David spent a year as a trainee in Winchester and a further year as an assistant operations manager at the Stagecoach depot in Rotherham.

He will ensure that the network continues to provide relevant and fit-for-purpose services for its passengers while remaining sustainable for the long-term.

The newly created post reports in to Stagecoach MCSL’s commercial director, David Shurden.
