Trevor Hunt

Trevor Hunt is the Network Management Policy Team Leader in the Highways Agency’s Safety, Standards and Research Directorate and is responsible for the development, monitoring and review of national policy on network management issues including the Traffic Management Act and winter service.  

Trevor joined the Highways Agency in 2000 after many years working as a Senior Engineer for Local Highway Authorities in the Manchester area. Since then has been a Route Manager for roads in Cumbria, Lancashire and Yorkshire before becoming the manager of the HA’s research policy and programme for two years. He has spent the last twelve months leading the national policy team to provide guidance and support to the Highways Agency teams and service providers, on the management of the motorway and trunk road network.  

Presently some of the key projects being taken forward by Trevor’s team are the implementation of the Traffic Management Act, including the development of the Network Operations Management project; the 10 year winter service strategy, and the replacement of the Trunk Road Maintenance Manual together with many routine and ad hoc policy issues.

A keen rugby league fan, Trevor is delighted with the stirring start made by Harlequins Rugby League team in Super League X11 and the impact that Andy Farrell is having in rugby union by helping that nice Johnny Wilkinson to begin to fully realise his potential.
