I have been involved with India for a number of years: Firstly with the British Government’s trade department, UKTI in aviation and rail sectors. Then, as Vice President of Routes in Manchester, I was responsible for international market development in aviation and tourism. With Routes, I organised Routes Asia Congresses in Hyderabad with GMR and Mumbai with GVK. I have cooperated for a number with the Indian Ministries of Aviation and Tourism, Incredible India and Indian Associations including AAI, FICCI, IATO and OTOAI. I have also worked with neighboring countries in the Sub-Continent; Pakistan, Nepal,Bhutan and Bangladesh.
