MANCHESTER Airports Group (MAG) has appointed its new cargo director.

Graeme Ferguson, currently Head of Legal and an Operations Board Director at London Stansted Airport, replaced John Froggatt in the role at the end of November.

John Froggatt is retiring from his role as cargo and commercial big director after 30 years with MAG.

Graeme said: “MAG has a proven track record in developing successful cargo operations and the acquisition of London-Stansted has brought about a renewed focus for the group. I’m looking forward to driving this area of the business.”

“My first priority will be to meet and engage with both existing and new freight operators, to better understand their business needs and identify ways in which we can work with them to grow and expand their UK operations.”

Manchester Airports Group is the owner and operator of four airports: London-Stansted, Manchester, East Midlands and Bournemouth.
