London Gatwick has announced Lesley Hall has been appointed to the position of environment, health, and safety director, while Bronwen Jones has been promoted to development director.

Hall joined the airport’s executive management board at the beginning of 2018 and, with her colleagues, will be developing the performance and culture of environment, health, and safety at Gatwick Airport, ensuring it continues to achieve excellence and recognition across the wider UK aviation sector.

Hall brings with her a wealth of environment, health, and safety experience from a wide range of industries both within the UK and internationally, having previously held roles with the Brett Group, BP Gas, BP Alternative Energy and as a HM inspector with the Health & Safety Executive

As development director, Jones also joins the board and will work closely with Tim Norwood, corporate affairs, sustainability and planning director, and Ray Melee, construction director, to help deliver the airport’s ambitious plans for continued growth.

This work will ensure Gatwick has a robust and deliverable ten-year capital investment plan which aligns with the wider UK aviation and airspace strategy.

Jones, who was previously head of development at Gatwick, joined BAA in 1989 as a graduate trainee and has worked in a wide variety of operational and capital development roles.

Gatwick Airport chief executive, Stewart Wingate, said: “I am delighted Lesley Hall and Bronwen Jones have joined Gatwick’s executive team and I look forward to the breadth of experience they will both bring to their new roles.
