Wise words from Webb as he bows out at i-Transport

Simon Webb, the Managing Partner of consultancy i-Transport, has retired almost 20 years after setting up the practice. He set up the business in partnership with Mark Gimingham in April 2005. Among his achievements, he lists working on major urban extensions with with “complex multi modal issues” and World Heritage sites including Stonehenge and Avebury.

In his valedictory message on LinkedIn, Webb said: “Always employ people who are brighter than yourself. I have been privileged to work with many talented and lovely people who have made my life eaiser and without whom I would not be where I am today.

“Always treat people fairly and and life will return much more to you. 

“Finally, be careful of what you wish for. If any of you are thinking of selling your businesses to a larger entity, think very, very careful before you sell what you have created in your own image to someone who sadly, in my experience, is unlikely to understand your mission or share your business values. With i-Transport, we have chosen to do the opposite and set up a legacy practice and I am proud of our collective achievements.”
