Steve Griffiths, currently Chief Operating Officer at London Stansted, has been appointed Managing Director of the airport.

Steve, who joined London Stansted in October 2018 from Transport for London, will be responsible for the day-to-day airport operations, including security, airfield operations, passenger experience, terminal operations and asset maintenance.

Ken O’Toole, Stansted’s Chief Executive Officer who has led the airport since August 2017, will become Chief Development Officer for the airport’s owner, Manchester Airports Group (MAG). He will assume responsibility for the group’s corporate and business strategies and development, including aviation, retail and property.

After almost two years at London Stansted I’ve seen first-hand the incredible dedication of our teams in delivering a rapid development of our airline route network and investment in our passenger facilities and services.

Never has this hard work and commitment been more important than over the last few months as the airport responds to the unprecedented challenges presented by COVID-19. The focus the whole operation has shown on making it as safe as possible for our passengers is what makes Stansted such a special place to work. There will be further challenges ahead, but I am excited to be leading our dedicated teams as we look to the future.

As we welcome more passengers to the airport this summer, I am determined and excited by this opportunity to lead the recovery and ensure we continue to deliver the best possible airport experience at London Stansted.

Managing Director, Steve Griffiths

 

Certainly a shake up and changing of roles at the MAG airports going on.

 

Interesting indeed, what has EMA got out of this?

 

Good luck, Mr. Griffiths. Hopefully, you'll do your job well, and you won't have to face any misfeasance claims.

Welcome @kerMiche and we hope you like what you read on F4A. Just one comment, this thread was last updated 11 months ago so hopefully Mr Griffiths has now got his feet well under the table.

 

Whenever I hear someone removed from an administration position, I remember how our director was accused of misapplying company money and breached his duties as a director. The liquidators wanted him fired for misfeasance claims. But it didn't work. He hired some pros to take care of it, and in the end, he left the company with some good money. Having great lawyers gets you out of trouble, and it doesn't matter if you are guilty or not. Anyway, his dismissal made many of my colleagues happy. He enjoyed creating problems for everyone.
