The headline isn’t the most concerning part of this story.
>The Telegraph has discovered that his son David, is a senior executive at Mace Group, a major Network Rail contractor. Network Rail said Hendy senior had informed them of the relationship and that he had no role in procurement at the organisation. David Hendy is understood to have informed his employers about his ties with the then Network Rail chairman, and is also thought to have had no role in procurement.
The recent scandal involving Gareth Dennis showed Peter Hendy threatening to interfere with the procurement process of not just Network Rail but the supply chain also. The article also highlights suppliers throwing money at Peter Hendy’s favourite charities, would they do that if they didn’t believe he wasn’t able to sway procurement decisions?
There is a strong stink here that Peter Hendy may have been abusing public funds in his previous role at Network Rail.

“Ms Grundy complained that Hendy handed her a number of Oyster cards loaded with £10 of credit on each and a London 2012 badge as tokens of his affection, admitting that: “He wasn’t very romantic when it came to gifts.””
Odd that the telegraph thinks that the most important part of the article is that he didn’t give his prostitute girlfriend appropriate gifts. Not very becoming of the grandson of a baron I guess, should have forked out for jewellery or something.

Who doesn’t love Escorts? Mk1 and Mk2 anyway, they went a bit shit after that and the Escort Cosworth isn’t really an Escort, it’s a shortened Sierra with an approximation of an Escort body on top.

>Last week, it emerged that while he was still serving as Network Rail chairman, he threatened one of the UK’s largest engineering groups until it disciplined an engineer who displeased him.
Hendy, 71, told Network Rail officials in May to “deal with” Systra engineer [Gareth Dennis](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/08/29/lord-hendy-rail-minister-sacking-engineer-gareth-dennis/), after he had raised safety concerns about Euston station. Dennis eventually lost his job at the firm, a contractor to Network Rail, and said he had suffered from depression and anxiety as a result of his dismissal.
What an absolute pos.
