The City of Edinburgh Council’s recruitment committee has recommended Vic Emery as its preferred candidate for the role of combined chair for the boards of its two wholly owned transport companies.

A position as significant as this, with such a high-profile initiative, will require all the experience I have gained in the public and private sectors over many years. It’s an opportunity I very much relish.”
Richard Jeffrey, Chief Executive of tie/Tel, said: “We will be delighted to welcome Vic to the Boards of both organisations. His wealth of experience from other Boards will be a valuable addition as we move the project forward.”
