Bob Mountain, EU CIS Region Head of Supply Chain & Logistics at Honda was recently elected by the Body, and will also become Co-Chair of the Berkshire Strategic Transport Forum, and a member of the Board at Thames Valley Berkshire Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP).
“I am looking forward to using my experience in the wider setting of the LEP Board to also positively impact people in the Berkshire area,” Mr Mountain said.
“The major challenge for the BLTB willbe handling the fallout of Covid-19.
“Even in the current circumstances we can leverage the strengths of the area, such as the excellence of our workforce and our geographic location.
