Manchester new MD

Gatwick’s loss is Manchester’s gain.

Manchester Airport is hoping to put serious recent problems behind it with the appointment of the vastly experienced Chris Woodroofe as the new Managing Director.

Woodroofe was Chief Operating Officer at Gatwick Airport from 2016 to 2020, where he oversaw a step-change in passenger experience and a major programme of operational improvements.  Prior to that, Chris held a number of senior roles at Gatwick, including in customer service, security and engineering.

He joins Manchester Airport from Chevron Traffic Management, where he had overall responsibility for operational performance and driving growth.

Chris, who is originally from Widnes, in the North West, will start in his new role later this week and will be supported by Ian Costigan who will continue to oversee the airport’s operational functions, having been interim Managing Director since April.
