Bob Macleod, Former MD of Highlands and Islands Airports

 “During my time as Managing Director of Highlands and Islands Airports we had reason to use the services of John Strickland…  We were always impressed with his gravitas, his serious depth of knowledge and his ready grasp of our requirements.  We also used him to train our people and representatives of our shareholders in the business of our customers, the airlines.  He served us well…  I am pleased that the relationship has continued and that JLS Consulting is only a phone call away”

Bernard Berger, Head of Airline Marketing at Delhi International Airport (p) Ltd, Former Director New Route Development, Ryanair

 "I enjoyed working with John in relationship to his consultancy work for a number of French regional airports. He was a very successful lobbyist and well able to work around the complexities of French local politics to make a strong business case for the low cost sector. John's strong command of the French language certainly helped him in this regard. I have no doubt that as the economy starts to improve, John will use his skills to open up more regional markets, following on from his earlier career as Head of New Route Development for Buzz, KLM's low cost subsidiary based in Stansted which was sold to Ryanair. I wish John well in all his future venture"
