Just a couple of months after announcing its e-commerce services for Royal Mail over at Air Cargo China, Glasgow Prestwick Airport (GPA) has now appointed Colin Dai as its Country Sales Director, China. His responsibility: to support and develop the airport’s e-commerce operations. He joins GPA over from Trip.com Group where he was Senior Director, Global Partnerships, Marketing and Business Development. Prior to that he held sales and marketing positions at Singapore Airlines, Virgin Atlantic and Qatar Airways, all in Shanghai, China. Thus, he has a solid founding in aviation and e-commerce and brings a strong local network with him. This will support GPA’s strategy of promoting its services to the Chinese e-commerce industry as it strives to become the UK’s leading international e-commerce hub. It offers 24/7 operations and fast turnarounds, and recently invested more than GBP 2 million in new cargo equipment.
Colin Dai, Country Sales Director, China, GPA, said: “With the rapid growth of Chinese e-commerce and demand for it across the UK, there is an increasing need for efficient and reliable international logistics solutions. My focus will be on meeting these rising business needs by introducing GPA’s services to Chinese companies, leveraging the airport’s strategic location, state-of-the-art facilities, and partnership with Royal Mail.”
Nico Le Roux, Business Development Director, GPA, stated: “China represents one of the most dynamic e-commerce markets globally, and we are excited to have Colin on board to spearhead our efforts in the region. We are committed to providing cost-effective, efficient solutions for e-commerce companies looking to access the UK market, and Colin’s new role is a testament to this.”
