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.
