Guy previously served as the Commercial Director of Thomsonfly, the UK-based scheduled and charter airline, leading on network, commercial proposition, and revenue development until its merger with First Choice in 2007 to create TUI Travel Plc. He was also the Commercial Director of National Express Coach Division, where he was responsible for the business’ network, revenue, and customer operations, as well as its Eurolines international business. Prior to this, Guy held Director positions at Credit Suisse and Barclays, focusing on the Global Air Transport Sector advisory business and aviation cross-border financing respectively.
Guy is a highly experienced aviation and transport executive, and we are delighted that he will be working with our aviation team to help airlines, airports, investors, and the wider aviation supply chain deliver enduring results.
