Tees Valley Unlimited

Extract from the airport website:
"Hugh Lang, Managing Director of Durham Tees Valley Airport, will lead the Board of Tees Valley Unlimited (TVU)—the new organisation which aims to build on the area’s pioneering work over the last decade in developing partnerships across all sectors of the community.
Today he described his new role as “A great opportunity to play a part in ensuring that a united Tees Valley City Region punches above its weight and that we really can deliver on our ambitions to make the area a Twenty First Century success story.”

My initial thoughts were (in no particular order!):

1. hasn't he got enough to do in his day job?;
2. securing an escape route in case things go pear-shaped;
3. gets the airport a nice 'in' to any new developments in the region and ensures its place at the centre of things.

Any other views??
