TWO senior Ports of Jersey employees have taken on new duties as the States-owned entity looks to strengthen its leadership capabilities.
It comes after the aviation regulator recently lifted the ‘Special Attention’ condition applied to Jersey Airport following six months of regular audits and reporting.
Louise Stafford has been sworn in as Acting Airport Director, alongside her current role of Head of Maritime Operations and Deputy Harbour Master.
Ms Stafford started her career working for British Airways, before joining Ports of Jersey in 2009.
In a statement, a Ports spokesperson said: “Louise brings a wealth of experience, having worked in both aviation and maritime roles for the last 20 years.
“Her extensive knowledge and expertise will be invaluable in ensuring that we continue to operate safely and efficiently 24/7 across Ports of Jersey.”
Additionally, Keith Attwood – Head of Airport Operations – has been sworn in as Acting Harbour Master.
Mr Attwood joined Ports of Jersey last year, following a 22-year career in the Royal Navy, where he served within the Fleet Air Arm.
“Keith brings with him a high level of aviation experience as a frontline helicopter pilot and more recently within senior management and leadership roles at squadron and headquarter levels,” the Ports spokesperson added.
