Stacy Smith joins Yotta DCL from UK's Transport Research Laboratory
Yotta DCL, the highway surveying and geospatial data specialist, has appointed Stacy Smith as Professional Services Manager. Stacy joins Yotta DCL to manage the company's expanding Professional Services team from TRL (Transport Research Laboratory) where he was a UKPMS (UK Pavement Management System) consultant.
Stacy's broad and in-depth knowledge of UKPMS, its application, associated issues and solutions, brings additonal strength and technical and practical leadership to the Professional Services team. This enables Yotta DCL to provide extensive UKPMS training to all Local Authorities and contractors.
“My ambition is to make Yotta DCL the Number One choice for independent UKPMS training. With Local Authorities only loading up their PMSs two to three times a year, we are able to provide much needed support to make the process as streamlined as possible. What can take a Local Authority up 2 weeks to perform, we can do in 2 days,” says Stacy.
“Stacy brings exceptional skills, knowledge and experience to Yotta DCL. With his leadership our Professional Services team will deliver excellent training in all aspects of UKPMS and also provide a crack squad of experts that can quickly resolve pavement management system issues,” says David Lowe, Director, Yotta DCL.
