In February, HAECO Group announced the establishment of a new centralised commercial team to more effectively project the Group’s expanding capabilities, services and product offerings to our worldwide customer base. The aim is to improve customer focus and advocacy, while supplementing HAECO’s existing global customer support network. HAECO has appointed Richard Kendall (formerly Group Director Airframe Services) to lead the team as Chief Commercial Officer, effective 22 February 2021.
Frank Walschot, HAECO Group’s Chief Executive Officer, said: “I am delighted to be able to announce this development to improve customer focus across the broad range of HAECO’s activities, and the appointment of Richard Kendall as Chief Commercial Officer. Richard is uniquely qualified to lead this initiative, given his extensive management experience gained over 36 years with Swire group, including roles leading our HAESL engine MRO joint venture with Rolls-Royce, as Chief Executive of HAECO Americas and, most recently, responsible for our Airframe Services segment.”
HAECO has named James Ginns to succeed Mr Kendall as Group Director Airframe Services, effective from the same date. Mr Ginns has recently joined HAECO Group from Cathay Pacific Airways, where his roles included those of Chief Risk Officer, Director Service Delivery and Regional General Manager in Europe and Japan.
