CharterSync secures new hire as part of strategic talent acquisition

CharterSync, the UK based air cargo charter platform, is signalling its ambitions for growth with the appointment of top air cargo broker Rudi Jones as charter sales manager.

Jones brings more than 15 years' experience to CharterSync following a successful career as part of Chapman Freeborn's cargo brokering team in Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Asia. Prior to that, he worked at Gatwick Airport for ground handling company Servisair, after starting his career with Thomas Cook.

As charter sales manager for CharterSync, Jones will be responsible for developing and implementing the strategic sales plan, maximising new business opportunities and developing new relationships with freight forwarders and airline operators.

Ed Gillett, co-founder and director of CharterSync, says: “Rudi's appointment is a confident step forward in the strategic vision for CharterSync. Combining his wealth of experience with our innovative technology will result in the perfect harmony of automation and personalised service, giving an unparalleled level of support to our clients.

“As well as this year's demand from the pharmaceutical, energy and automotive sectors, we have recently seen a sharp increase in demand for AOG product in the last two months. Recently, the majority of AOG spare-part flights have been for stranded cargo aircraft, but with fewer connecting flights and schedules now available, stranded commercial flights are also increasingly reliant on our platform to access the parts they need quickly and efficiently. We've seen this spike in the last two weeks and anticipate this will be a growth area as international travel restrictions are gradually lifted. Our end-to-end booking platform will enable our freight forwarders to quickly locate the fastest charter solution for their urgent spare parts.”
