Steer
is a chartered engineer, and one of the country's leading authorities on transport with over 35 years consultancy experience. Jim was founder and Managing Director of Steer Davies Gleave until March 2002, before being seconded to the Strategic Rail Authority as one of three Managing Directors.
His secondment ended in July 2005 and, now Jim has rejoined Steer Davies Gleave, and is now taking a personal interest in the development of high speed rail lines in Britain, which he sees as an essential component of a sustainable integrated transport strategy, given the growth pressures ahead.
Jim is also Founder and Director of Greengauge 21, a not for profit organisation, who’s aim is to research and develop concepts in order to drive the debate on a high speed rail network in the UK.
