Danny joined East Riding of Yorkshire Council in January 2008 as a Graduate Trainee before becoming Transport Development Manager in July 2008. During this time he has worked on a review of the council’s vehicle hire, lease and purchase arrangements which has led to the creation of an internal vehicle hire desk.

As project manager for the Transport Innovation Partnership (TIP), Danny has initiated shared services in the delivery of Special Educational Needs transport which has enabled Hull City Council and East Riding Council to achieve over £250,000 joint annual cost savings on like-for-like transport in the academic year 2010/11.

The TIP has achieved national recognition as best practice for collaborative working between local authorities with articles in Transport Xtra, The Surveyor, and County Beacon. Danny is currently undertaking a part-time MSc Transport Planning at Leeds Institute of Transport Studies having graduated in French Studies from the University of Warwick in 2007.
