The Northern Ireland Executive announced on 30 September that Infrastructure Minister Liz Kimmins has named two Non-Executive Members to serve a second term on the Board of the Northern Ireland Transport Holding Company (NITHC).
Following an external competition, Mr Mike Brown and Mr Ed Wills have been selected to continue their roles after previous service.
The Commissioner for Public Appointments for Northern Ireland mandates that the political activity of all appointees be made public record.
NITHC operates as a Public Corporation established under the Transport Act (NI) 1967 to hold and manage property assets.
Its oversight responsibilities extend to private limited subsidiaries, primarily Ulsterbus, Metro and Northern Ireland Railways trading jointly as Translink.
The current Board composition includes one Chair, three Executive Members and five Non-Executive Members.
Remuneration for Non-Executive Directors is set at £14,263 per annum.
The Department for Infrastructure (DfI) policy requires competitive selection for reappointment of Non-Executive positions.
All selections are based on merit with no political influence permitted in the process.
Mr Mike Brown previously held senior executive roles within London Underground, London Rail and Heathrow Airport.
Mr Ed Wills has not been detailed in the available records regarding his specific prior experience.
The appointments were confirmed without requiring a right of reply or triggering legal flags.
This marks the second term for both directors on the NITHC Board.
No further procedural steps have been identified beyond the initial announcement.
The report concludes with the confirmation of these two reappointments to the Transport Holding Company.
