Putting faces to names..
...meet the THINK! team

One of the features of this newsfeed is regular updates from the DfT’s THINK! campaign and we frequently quote members of the team in this editorial coverage.

But for many readers these are simply names of people they have never met, and may never meet – yet they play an important part in shaping and delivering road safety publicity across the UK.

That’s why we thought it would be a good idea to introduce the THINK! team members to our readers.

As well as a photograph, we are including brief details of each individual’s areas of responsibility and their contact details.

So here goes with our special ‘Who’s who’ in the THINK team.
