The Swanage Railway Company is managed
by a Board of Directors. All voting shares in the Company are held by
the Swanage Railway Trust who nominate at least half the directors
including Chairman and Deputy Chairman. The
balance are appointed by the Company.

Andrew Moore - Finance Director
Profile to follow
Keith Gooding - Secretary
Started on the Railway as a volunteer in Carriage and Wagon
Department following retirement from a thirty odd year
career with Barclays Bank - mostly overseas.
For a time he
took the role of Finance Director with the Railway but a
spell of ill health forced a stand down. He gradually
resumed tasks with the Company, first as Personnel Officer,
then Personnel Director then Company Secretary and
Registrar. Definitely not a "railway buff" but a keen
amateur Military Historian.
Peter Sills
The newest Director on the Company Board, Peter Sills is also a
Council of Management member and Chairman of the Purbeck Mineral and Mining Museum Group within the SRT.
Peter
brings a range of skills to the board that are drawn from his
experiences in marketing and communications as well as a former parish councillor.
