DID SOMEONE SAY TREFOR JONES!!
This bloke came into Gill Air (as then was) at the top and promptly p*ssed money all over the place, not always very wisely. He was a cold fish and most definitely not a 'people person'. When the investors who had backed him (3i, and a couple of others who I can't remember)eventually came to see where the money had all gone they were somewhat shocked.
Some of their cash had ALLEGEDLY been spent on various flats around the UK along with a multitude of other perks. Anyway, Trefor was given the boot PDQ to general rejoicing and a Company Troubleshooter was brought in by the investors to sort out the mess.
We joked at the time 'How do you make a small fortune in aviation? Start by giving a large one to ****** *****!'
What amazes me is how people like this get a second chance in aviation. The porkies that must be told beggar belief. If this individual is involved at DHL then I'd take a close look at every aspect of the operation (as far as you're able) and keep your fingers crossed.
