Steve’s knowledge of his subject is second to none, this together with his calm but authoritative manner in explaining complex issues, made him invaluable during discussions with stakeholders at all levels.

"We can work with you to develop noise management measures to reduce noise, for example by modifying your operating procedures, with no ongoing cost or impact on capacity. We find consulting on noise management improves stakeholder relations, enhances reputation and can be key to obtaining consents and funding for the infrastructure required to grow an airport to the next level."
