Air Partner appoints Ian Holder as Managing Director, Baines
Simmons
Air Partner plc ("Air Partner" or "Group") is pleased to
announce the appointment of Ian Holder as Managing Director, Baines
Simmons. He takes up the role immediately, reporting directly to
Air Partner CEO Mark Briffa, and will also sit on the Group's
Operating Board.
Ian joined Baines Simmons as a Principal Consultant in 2015 and
his promotion follows a thorough internal and external recruitment
search. He has a particular interest in the power of organisational
safety cultures to drive enhanced business performance and has
worked with numerous global brands, including national
flag-carrying airlines. He will remain based at the Baines Simmons
office at Fairoaks airport and will focus on accelerating the
growth of the company.
Ian is a safety management specialist, with over 25 years in the
industry. He began his aviation career with the RAF in 1990,
serving as both a military and civil airline pilot, before joining
Flybe in 2009, where he held a number of senior positions.
Mark Briffa, CEO of Air Partner plc, said: "I am delighted to
welcome Ian to the role of Managing Director. His extensive
industry experience and existing customer relationships make him
the ideal person to build on what we have already achieved since
acquiring Baines Simmons in 2015. Already this year we have won a
significant four-year contract with the Ministry of Defence and the
pipeline ahead is strong. We are making good headway against our
strategic objective to create a balanced business between Broking
and Consulting & Training, and I have no doubt that Baines
Simmons' growth trajectory will gain further traction under Ian's
leadership."
