Testimonials

I have worked with John Dacey as a colleague on management and high level transportation strategies for two decades and I know that he is one of the most gifted professionals in these areas. John always displays drive and commitment to deliver on a range of projects particularly on public/private partnerships.

Byron Davies

John's strategic approach was a key factor in making the Cardiff County Council partnership with BT a success. He also understands the importance of delivery within tight timescales which is invaluable.

Cardiff is losing a great asset when John retires and I am grateful of all the encouragement and positive ideas he provided in all our business dealings. I know he has shown great determination and vision in masterminding the Transport Partnership Initiative, which is likely to generate over £500m for the Cardiff region. I am delighted to hear that he will not be entirely lost to the profession as he has decided to continue his career in the consultancy field. This is good news for both the public and private sectors and I am sure he will enhance his reputation even further.

I have known John for in excess of 13 or 14 years, and Savell Bird & Axon has worked with John since its inception in 1994. I have immense respect for his professionalism, strategic thinking and above all his ability to embrace engineering knowledge, pragmatism and sheer political acumen. We haven't always held the same views, or been on the same sides, but we have almost always found a way to achieve results that give a common benefit.

John Dacey has been a very good and respected colleague over many years and as he has decided to continue in a consultancy basis it means that our industry will not lose a talented individual. I am sure he will prosper in his new career.
