Director of Fun Appointed at National Railway Museum
August 28th, 2009 by Barry PotierThey start them young on the rail industry corporate ladder in the UK. Six-year-old Sam Pointon from Leicester has just been appointed as Director of Fun at the National Railway Museum in York. Sam wrote to the museum and applied to replace retiring director Andrew Scott. In his application Sam wrote: “I have an electric train track. I am good on my train track. I can control two trains at once.” Bosses were so taken with his enthusiasm they offered him a role as director of fun. Asked what qualified him for the role at the railways museum, he answered: “I’ve been on loads of trains, including the Eurostar.”
Mr Scott said Sam’s letter of application was a delight to read. He added: “It’s always fantastic to see such young children with a real passion for trains, just like I had when I was a boy.”
What a great thing to do, if you know of any other appointments like this please tell us.
