Join us and shape the plans for cargo growth at Gatwick Airport!
The key part of this particular meeting will be to discuss and agree the structure and approach of a BIFA/Gatwick Airport working group that will enable all parties to be ready to maximise the cargo growth driven by the planned extension of the Northern Runway.
All BIFA members are welcome to attend, irrespective of their base location and position in their organisation – if you have a business interest in this region, please come along!
Join us and our external guest speakers for updates on the key local and national issues that are impacting your business. This meeting is a great opportunity for you to share your views on these topics with fellow members and the BIFA team.
Guest Speakers
Ben Lomax (Senior property asset manager) and Richard Owens (Senior business development manager) from Gatwick Airport
Andy Cooke (External affairs consultant) from BIFA and Mark Bellis (Head of strategy and product development) from BT
Andy and Mark will be attending to ensure that the Advanced Information System and ACC Advisory Body will be proactive contributors to the Gatwick growth plans.
