OverRun asked : "Is the CEO a lawyer or accountant?"
The website does not give that but a local will supply I'm sure. The MD is Andrew Skipp but no other details. The website states the usual blandness:
Bristol International Airport is a Private Limited Company, 100% owned by a joint venture holding company, South West Airports Limited. South West Airports Limited (SWAL) is in turn owned by Macquarie Airports (MAp), a subsidiary of Macquarie Bank Ltd, Australia's largest investment bank and Ferrovial Aeropuertos, a subsidiary of Ferrovial, one of Spain's foremost infrastructure companies.
Since acquiring Bristol International, in January 2001, both shareholders have increased their portfolio of airport investments, including stakeholdings in Sydney, Birmingham, Belfast City, Brussels, Rome and Copenhagen Airports.
