This month Steven Knight meets UKRL’s managing director Mark Winter.
MARK Winter was a later-comer to the railway industry, having completed a law degree and then qualifying as a barrister. He then switched track to work in finance, and has held some very senior positions, including senior treasurer for Royal Bank of Scotland, Ulster Bank and Barclays Bank, and also head of funding and capital markets at Bradford and Bingley.
