West Somerset Railway Heritage Trust WSRHT

New Trustee joins the Board

The West Somerset Railway Heritage Trust is delighted to welcome Mike Lee as our latest new Trustee to join the board.

Mike is a retired engineer, having worked in the military for both the RAF and the MOD, the latter as an engineering designer, specialising in how to produce safer, more reliable and easier to maintain complex military systems. 

He retired to Minehead two years ago after a 50-year working career, having previously spent many years visiting from Bristol to enjoy his passion for fishing, and he now plans to stay in the area.

Whilst he intends to enjoy his hobby locally, he still wants to use his skills and experience by helping to keep one of the South West’s most valuable heritage attractions moving ahead and has agreed that he will specifically focus on safety at the WSRHT, ensuring we continue to operate to the highest standards.

The WSRHT board warmly welcomes Mike aboard and looks forward to benefiting from his significant breadth of skills in helping the Trust to evolve further in the future.
