David Clark joins WFS as Global Head of Safety & Security

David, who will report directly to WFS’ CEO Craig Smyth, will take up his new post on 27th February 2017, based in Paris. He joins WFS after spending more than 17 years with British Airways where he has held various senior management roles in Engineering and Ground Operations.

Commenting on the appointment, Craig Smyth said, “Safety and security is our number one priority. As such, David’s appointment brings not only a deep understanding of aviation safety and security risk and regulatory frameworks, but also a current perspective from a major international airline and WFS customer.”
