Frank Douglas has joined Transport for London as group HR director

Douglas, who is responsible for delivering HR strategy and services, joined Transport for London (TfL) last month from Scottish & Newcastle where he was HRD.

He reports directly to Peter Hendy, London's transport commissioner. Douglas said: "I am delighted to have joined TfL at this critical time in the delivery of its hugely ambitious investment programme to upgrade and expand London's transport network. I will be working with TfL colleagues to ensure we have the right approaches to leadership, recruitment, retention and development to deliver benefits to Londoners." Douglas was formerly HR director, international at Cable & Wireless, and held various HRD roles at Shell.
