60 seconds with... Thomas Brewster

Thomas joined Transport for London (TfL) on its graduate programme in 2012 after initially taking a Project Analyst role at Associated British Foods (ABF). At ABF, he assisted a delivery team with the implementation of a new warehousing Enterprise Resource Planning System for British Sugar and The Silver Spoon Company.

Since joining TfL, Thomas has brought energy to numerous deliveries across several service areas. Most notably, he played a key role managing the transition of TfL’s critical communications system from analogue to digital radio, and delivery of Surface Transport’s Push To Talk over Cellular service.

Outside of the day job, he has worked alongside other colleagues providing guest lectures on operational applications of technology in public transport at Critical Communications World, Imperial College London, University of East Anglia and will be presenting with Tait Communications' Jamie Bishop at BAPCO 2020.

How do you spend most of your time at work?

I spend most of my time kick starting, scoping and developing a wide variety of technological projects that will deliver benefits to Surface Transport in TfL. My role mostly involves representing the needs of our business customers, and getting the right people and teams (internal and external) together to develop and deliver solutions.
