Winfield is Sustrans’ first chief operating officer

Active travel charity Sustrans has appointed Matt Winfield to the new role of chief operating officer from 1 October 2023. Winfield has been with Sustrans for 17 years and currently holds the role of executive director, England, Northern Ireland and Wales. Sustrans said the new role of COO will provide greater consistency across geographic teams, and demonstrates how it is shaping itself to be “fit for the future and to be in a strong position to deal with all outcomes that the organisation may face”. 

Winfield said: “We are all here to make a difference and encourage more walking, wheeling and cycling – I look forward to meeting colleagues across the UK, sharing best practice and supporting the strong relationships we have with devolved administrations and organisations.”
