Changes at the top at Norwich airport
Norwich International Airport managing director Richard Jenner is to leave his position at the end of the year.
He was originally due to retire in November 2009 when he will be 65.
But an airport statement said that both parties “had agreed it was important in the current financial and economic climate to put in place arrangements to provide longer term direction and leadership for the airport and to have the new managing director take charge of the 2009/10 budgeting process for which he can then take full responsibility and accountabilityâ€.
Jenner will be succeeded on January 1 by deputy managing director Elliott Summers, who said: “Although the economic climate is challenging, and in particular for the aviation sector, I embrace the opportunity of taking the airport forward to the benefit of our customers, staff and shareholders alike.
“We have a relatively new management board team supported by a large core team of highly skilled and loyal staff.
“With their help and support, coupled with the continued excellent relationship with our customers, I am certain that the long-term future of the airport will be prosperous.â€
Jenner said: “I fully understand that the airport company needs to look to the future and that it is important that a new MD is in place sooner rather than later to develop a robust strategy to take the airport forward in 2009 and the years ahead.â€
