Yesterday we welcomed representatives from our new shareholder, I Squared Capital, to our offices in London. We hosted a live broadcast for over 500 of Arriva’s senior managers across 11 countries so they could hear directly from I Squared. Pictured on the stage (from left) is David Brown, Managing Director of our UK Trains division, Mike Cooper, CEO Arriva Group, Enrico Del Prete, Fund Partner at I Squared, Christian Goeseke, CFO Arriva Group and Philippe Lenoble, I Squared’s Operating Advisor to Arriva. It was great hearing more about their business and what makes them tick. What we heard was: 🚌 I Squared care passionately about building sustainable businesses. They are long-term investors and they share our vision for decarbonised fleets that will serve our communities and drive business performance. 🚆 We both consider urbanisation and the decarbonisation agenda as a great opportunity because public transport plays such a critical role. 🚌 Arriva’s operational and geographic diversity offers an attractive and unique opportunity for growth. 🚆 They have been impressed by our business performance but importantly, they have also been impressed by all the people within Arriva who want to make a difference to passengers and clients throughout Europe, every day. Together we will help shape a future where passenger transport is the best choice, for our passengers, for our people and for the planet.
