Former Met police chief joins BAA board
Former Metropolitain Police commissioner Lord Stevens has been named as a non-executive director of airports operator BAA.
Barclays deputy chairman Sir Nigel Rudd has been appointed chairman of the operator of seven UK airports including Heathrow and Gatwick.
Rudd said: “This is the most challenging role I have ever undertaken.
“BAA faces a number of well-documented challenges, but I am heartened that it has supportive and long-term shareholders and a first class chief executive in Stephen Nelson.
“I am delighted that John Stevens is joining the board which will be further strengthened over the coming months.
“We need to transform Britain’s biggest airports throughout the coming years. I believe it can be done and I am determined to get the results our passengers deserve.”
Stevens served at Heathrow during his long police career and is now international security adviser to the Prime Minister Gordon Brown.
BAA chief executive Stephen Nelson said: “BAA’s number one priority at the moment is to improve the experience of our passengers travelling through our airports.
“We have made significant headway in recent months and I am confident that the experience and talent that Sir Nigel and Lord Stevens will bring to the board, will help accelerate this transformation.”
