Ireland West Airport Knock made some management changes today and said it has organised its activities into two separately managed units.
The airport has appointed Liam Scollan, former MD, as Group Managing Director, whilst the airport's former head of finance and operations, Robert Grealis, will replace him as CEO of the airport.
It was also announced today that Enda Candon, formerly of Connacht Gold and CEO of First Western Consulting, is to take up the position of Director of Business Partnerships.
The airport authority said it has added a second business unit which will manage the airport's involvement in new businesses which are expected to be centered around the airport's aviation activities.
In a joint statement, the Airport's Chairman Joe Kennedy and its MD Liam Scollan said that the airport takes its role as a transport access hub very seriously but it also takes its place as an employer and job generator for the region very seriously also.
'It is vital therefore for Ireland West Knock's future, for its commercial success and its ability to provide secure jobs locally, that it not only continues to attract new flights, but creates new spin-off enterprises which provide economic benefit to the region and income streams to the Airport', the statement said.
