London Biggin Hill Airport is appointing its first operations director.
Bob Graham, formerly operations director of Birmingham Airport, will take up his appointment October 1. He joins a management team that has seen London Biggin Hill become the fastest growing business aviation airport in the UK; home to 1,300 employees and more than 70 aerospace enterprises.
David Winstanley, CEO, London Biggin Hill Airport, says, “With record growth and £70m of recent investment into new hangars and infrastructure on site, London Biggin Hill Airport is thriving as a gateway to the capital, contributing more than £70m each year to the UK economy.
“Now, as we look to the future, I’m delighted to welcome Bob Graham as my first executive leadership team appointment.
“Bob joins us after a successful period at Birmingham Airport where he oversaw significant operational improvements, a multi-million-pound overhaul of the passenger terminal and introduced innovative technology to improve the passenger journey; experiences which will drive his role as operations director at London Biggin Hill and enhance service excellence for our customers.”
Bob has more than 30 years’ experience in airport operations and safety management, including senior roles with Abertis Airports and TBI Airports. In 2011 he joined Birmingham Airport, first as managing director of BHX Fire & Rescue Limited, before taking on the role of operations director in 2014.
