Out of the office: Richard is the Membership Officer for the ASA Australia Chapter and has also undertaken rail industry mentoring roles. Most mornings, Richard begins the day in his small garage gym set up – trying to keep fit and active! At weekends his time is sent with his growing family and when he gets the chance Richard listens to one of his favourite bands from his ever-increasing vinyl collection.
