Bio
Phil Lightowler, MILT
I have worked with Steven for four years. Firstly in improving the service reliability and on time performance of bus services in Dubai and secondly in preparing tender submissions for bus networks across the region. Steven is probably one of the best network planners/schedulers I have worked with. His ability to improve the delivery of timetables, to wring out efficiencies and to create innovative solutions, is second to none. On a consistent basis he has delivered efficient schedules that have enabled us to submit competitive bids and he has improved schedules for clients.

I have worked with Steve for over 10 years. Steve is an extremely talented Scheduler with a real passion for identifying cost efficiency opportunities. I would recommend Steve to any organisation looking to reduce their costs and in need of a scheduler of the highest quality.
