Geoff Inskip is Chief Executive at Centro-WMPTA. He has over 20 years experience in the finance, rail and public transport sectors.
Having qualified as a Chartered Accountant, Geoff began working as a management consultant before moving on to work for a merchant bank in Manchester.
In 1988 GMPTE asked him with Kleinwort Benson to look at the private sector options for delivering Manchester’s Metrolink under a Public Private Partnership.
In 1992 Geoff was appointed Director of Finance of GMPTE and in 1996 also became Project Director for Phase 2 of Metrolink, seeing the project delivered to time and within budget in 1999. He was appointed Deputy Director General in 1999 with special responsibility for Phase 3 of Metrolink.
Taking up the position as Chief Executive of Centro-WMPTA in October, Geoff is keen to develop transport solutions which will attract people out of their cars. He and his team are therefore working on developing a range of innovative funding and delivery mechanisms for public transport in the West Midlands.
