About

Thanks for visiting. I’m Glenn. I am a vocal supporter of the need for decisive and urgent action to address the climate emergency, as well as the need for further progress on diversity and inclusion within the transport sector. I am a lifelong metalhead 🤘 

In my day job I am the Mott MacDonald Professor of Future Mobility at the University of West of England, Bristol. I’m also Vice-President of the Chartered Institution of Highways & Transportation. Spanning between academia and practice, I specialise in addressing transport sector developments in the context of ongoing and uncertain social and technological change and, through use of foresight approaches, advise governments in their strategic planning.

With recent roles as a member of the Wales Roads Review Panel, Chair of the Road Investment Scrutiny Panel, and previous senior-level secondments into the UK Department for Transport and the New Zealand Ministry of Transport, I have considerable experience of stakeholder engagement.
