“Swift Argent were employed by Southampton City Council to provide Client advice, specialist technical input and work with our Highways service partner to deliver a Permit Scheme for the management of streetworks in the City. The Council was keen to implement this initiative as soon as practicably possible, and in any event prior to the deadline of March 2015 when new procedures for the schemes would apply. Against this high pressure deadline, Swift Argent were able to hit all targets and ensure that the scheme was operational on the required date. Swift Argent provided accurate and confident advice throughout the process and delivered a compliant scheme from start to finish within 15 months, a remarkable feat.”
“Swift Argent Ltd has worked with Milton Keynes Council since the summer of 2013 to implement a Highways Permit Scheme for our Unitary Council. Jason Setford- Smith has been a key advisor and facilitator of this process and has been vital part of the planning and the success of the scheme going forward. Jason has always acted with the best interest of the Council and its reputation with the Utilities, and has guided us in producing the key documentation for the project including the Cost Benefit Analysis, Cabinet process and the approvals of the Government Minister at the Department of Transport. I have relied on his support on many occasions. I would recommend Swift Argent Ltd to any Authority taking on a Permit Scheme in the future. Jason has also advised and supported our Pilot Coring Scheme in Milton Keynes.”
“Through a best value tendering exercise with my Procurement Team I was lucky enough to be offered Swift Argent as the successful Tenderer to help bring a Permit Scheme to the city of Brighton and Hove. The working relationship formed has proved a very successful and rewarding one. Jason Setford-Smith the principle consultant used for the works with Brighton & Hove City Council has added value through his wealth of experience and industry leading knowledge in highways legislation. I fully recommend Swift Argent as a Highway and Street Works consultant.”
