Interflon are delighted to announce the appointment of Steve Featherstone as a Senior Advisor.

Steve joins Interflon from Network Rail where, as Track Programme Director, he was responsible for the safe delivery of Network Rail's programme of track and associated rail systems works valued at some £800m per year and delivered in collaboration with supply chain partners.

During Steve’s eight years at the helm, safety performance was recognised with 8 Safety Swords of Honour from the British Safety Council, engineering overruns reduced by 85%, high speed handbacks became the norm, volume delivery exceeded 100% of target and costs were substantially under budget. Before taking over the Track portfolio, Steve was National Maintenance Director for Network Rail responsible for a team of some 18,000 people, overseeing the most significant improvement in infrastructure reliability and train performance in modern railway history.

Interflon Director, Steve Marwood said of the appointment “I am thrilled that Steve has accepted this new part-time appointment and I very much look forward to working with him. His reputation for encouraging innovation from the supply is second to none which makes him a great fit with our company.”

Steve Featherstone said of his appointment, “It is great to be working with such an innovative company which has a track record of delivering solutions to significant railway engineering problems. When I was National Maintenance Director, I sponsored some of the Interflon products through Product Acceptance as I believed that they were real game changers. Ten years on I still believe that the products are game changes however the product range is now wider and the possible solutions are more extensive. I am really looking forward to working with Steve, Russell, Rob and the Interflon team to help them to grow the business.”
