Ex-Network Rail Operations Manager Ben Rudkin (pictured above) has been appointed Operations Director by Resonate Group to lead service delivery for its data-driven rail and traffic management technologies.
In the role, Rudkin will be in charge of rolling out Resonate’s core services across its customer network, enhancing service delivery based on market challenges and opportunities in light of the Our Control Period (CP7) plan from Network Rail.
Rudkin has over a decade of experience in the rail industry, spending 10 years in a variety of senior positions at Network Rail supporting the Western, Wessex & Kent regions, and more recently five years at Southeastern Railway as Head of Service Delivery.
So far, Rudkin has already helped oversee the successful rollout of Luminate, a digital platform delivering real-time, route-wide control for dynamic disruption management, and Initiate, a possession management system for safe planning and incident response in Scotland, as well as the ongoing rollout of Luminate in Wales.
Ben Rudkin, Operations Director for Resonate Group, said: “It’s a really exciting time to be involved in the technology and solutions space, and with Resonate I have the opportunity to deliver products and services that will make a real improvement to the railway and operational environment.
The people at Resonate set a very high bar in terms of passion and capability, everyone really cares about delivering the best they can and that really does translate to the service that customers get.
The dynamic, innovative and efficient approach at which Resonate delivers solutions makes you feel that anything is possible working here.”
Over the next year, Rudkin and Resonate will focus on supporting customers in delivering the CP7 objectives set out by Network Rail, using tools such as Initiate to improve safety, performance and efficiency across UK railways.
Blake Richmond, Chief Operating Officer at Resonate, commented: “Ben’s a great addition to the team, bringing over a decade of industry experience on the operations side, from being on the front line to management and leadership roles across multiple rail routes.
His deep expertise will continue strengthening our platform delivery, helping customers further embrace technology to modernise rail industry processes and deliver measurable improvements in efficiency, reliability, and service quality.”
