Ex-RAC boss to head EasyJet
Former RAC chief Andrew Harrison is to become the new chief executive of easyJet.
He joins on December 1 to replace Ray Webster who announced his retirement in May.
Harrison headed RAC until its acquisition by Aviva earlier this year and is a non-executive director of media company Emap.
EasyJet chairman Sir Colin Chandler said: “This is the successful conclusion of a rigorous search process conducted by a professional search company which assessed candidates across a wide range of consumer-facing industries.
“We had a number of criteria that our new CEO had to meet; in particular, he or she needed to have had senior management experience in a large and well recognised consumer-facing plc. In addition, Andrew has delivered strong top and bottom line growth, improved cash generation, introduced cost efficiencies and inspired employees in a service industry.”
Harrison said: “EasyJet has an exciting future ahead, continuing to deliver rapid growth and further building upon its strong position in the rapidly expanding European low cost airline market. I look forward to leading the EasyJet team to make this happen.”
