‘Airport Partners’ wins new Airport contracts
Airport Partners, the largest UK regional airport advertising company today announce their appointment to run the advertising & promotions concessions at the three Peel Airports, Liverpool John Lennon, Robin Hood Doncaster Sheffield and Durham Tees Valley.
This comes shortly after Airport Partners appointed Darren Ward as their new Head of Sales, joining after 14 years with Reed Publishing. Darren’s remit is to strengthen, build and develop the Regional and National Sales Team.
Paula Oliver, MD commented
“We are tremendously excited about winning this contract and working closely with Peel Airports. We share their vision for growing the quality, status and value of the advertising & promotions portfolio, and will be working on a complete redesign of the offer over the next few months to include amazing new exteriors, digital screens and new innovative interior sites. It is a really exciting time for us with our UK portfolio now reaching 23 airports with the addition of City of Derry Airport in Northern Ireland last month. We now sell nationally an audience of over 26 million passengers with a hugely attractive domestic profile.”
All three Airports are run by Peel Airports, which is 65% owned by Vancouver Airport Services who own and manage an extensive portfolio of airports internationally.
Matthew Thomas, Group Commercial Director for Peel Airports commented
“We are delighted to be working closely with Airport Partners during exciting times as we enhance, develop and vastly improve the overall passenger experience. This will ensure a truly world class and unique advertising offer at our UK Airports”.
Airport Partners is part of the AdGroup which was established in 1986 by Andrew Walker, CEO. The Group, based in Harrogate, specialises in outdoor and transport advertising and sponsorship. This year has seen a large expansion in the digital advertising offering and this will form an important part of the growth plans for the Group.
