Cardiff Airport have revealed the appointment of their new CEO a Jon Bridge, a multi-industry senior leader with chief executive experience.
Bridge built up his reputation and experience across industries such as transport, hospitality, and retail over the last thirty years.
Arguably his most transferable position to his new role was as the former CEO of SA Brain & Co. In that role, Bridge led the brewery company through the Covid-19 pandemic and showed impressive business acumen to ensure financial stability through one of the company’s most difficult periods.
Andy Jones had undertaken the role of interim CEO at Wales’ national airport since March of this year and will now be returning to his previous role of Non-Executive Director.
In a statement on his appointment, Bridge said: “I’m honoured to be joining Cardiff Airport at such a pivotal time.
“The National Airport of Wales is a vital asset for our country , providing economic benefits, jobs and ensures global connectivity. We are striving to be the first choice for airline passengers and the centre of Wales’ aviation related industry.
“I’ll be working hard with our team and partners to continue the process of diversifying the business, driving our growth, developing our people and ensuring we continue to provide an excellent experience for our customers.”
