Read the article & clearly something not right ! It's open to conjecture as to whether Mike didn't get on with Peel or vice versa. One presumes that coming into Peel late on in his career didn't help, - possibly someone got upset about the Passenger Facility Fee...
Brief C.V. -
Mike was once a trained mining engineer. However, due to the government policy of some 20 years ago, that industry was run down. Eventually, despite achieving his ambition of running his own colliery, he had to change direction. His aviation career began in 1996 when he joined BA World Cargo before moving on to work for Servisair and Coventry Airport. He joined the Peel Airports Group as the Director of Robin Hood Doncaster Airport in 2008 - a position he still holds - and added Director, Durham Tees Valley Airport (DTVA), to his job titles in June 2010.
So the obvious question, is Mike still with Peel down at Doncaster ? On another note the three replies posted to the article read like a repetition of comments regularly aired on this thread, hmmmmmm!
