Simon Kirby, HS2 construction CEO, said: ³Building Britain¹s much-needed high speed rail network will be a major undertaking and we need the best people to help deliver it on schedule and within the budget we have been set. Jim CrawfordŒs experience speaks for itself but I know just how capable he is from our time together at Network Rail working on the multi-billion pound investment in Thameslink. I am very pleased that someone of Jim¹s calibre is joining us as we have much to do between now and when we expect to have spades in the ground in 2017.²
At HS2 Crawford will be completing the set up of the team that will be responsible for the delivery of the multi-billion pound construction programme for the first phase of the new high speed rail network between London and West Midlands.
