Brian Conway has been promoted to the role of head of external
relations of Birmingham International Airport. The appointment comes in
the wake of the merger of the airport’s public, media and political
relations departments. Conway, previously the airport’s public affairs
manager, was appointed to the new position last week. ’The Eurovision
song contest and the G8 summit in May this year had a big impact on the
airport and we have decided to merge a number of departments to make us
more effective,’ he said. Overseeing a team of five, he will report to
director of business development Peter Vella.
