David Reid, BA (Hons), FCILT
David Reid is the Regional Officer - Scotland for the Institute. His background is logistics, freight transport and large fleet management, with various companies.
His early training was in haulage with a Glasgow company and later with organisations in both the retail and manufacturing sectors. The biggest part of his career was with British Gas plc in a variety of transport roles, eventually being responsible for half of the total BG operational transport activity across the UK. Before being employed by the Institute, he spent some time in the defence industry, again in transport management.
He also worked for some years in various parts of England, finally returning to Scotland and settling in Dalgety Bay, Fife.
He has a BA degree and a range of other transport qualifications including some in auto engineering. Early on in his career, he studied for qualifications with the then Chartered Institute of Transport and says that having a professional qualification and membership of the Institute has been an asset in his career. As a young manager, he won one of the CIT national awards.
His current job was meant to be a step back from the pressures of commercial cut and thrust but he says that he has had to get involved in an even wider range of activities right across all transport sectors, which demonstrates that one must never stop learning to keep on top of developments in this diverse industry.
His personal interests have included most forms of transport and he is currently an enthusiastic cyclist.
