Pacey had over 20 years of board level experience in transport and infrastructure.

He was most recently an independent consultant with ESVAGT, a leading provider of emergency response rescue services in the offshore oil and gas industry in Denmark and Norway. ESVAGT were 50 per cent owned by AMP Capital.
Prior to that he held senior finance and operational positions at Virgin Rail, Metronet Rail and GNER, and in the Go-Ahead airport services and car parking businesses, prior to their disposal, Pacey not only had experience managing teams, but worked in sales acquisitions and transactions, rail franchise bidding, and was involved in business development and operation review work in Europe and North America.
He would be based in London in his current role.
