Vendigital has hired an experienced industry expert to work in the Aerospace and Defence sector to support expansion and compliment the incumbent team by assisting clients as they face the challenge of recovery post Covid-19.
Jeff Kennelly joins Vendigital from Swissport in which his most recent assignment was overseeing the Ground Handling Operation at Birmingham International Airport during 2020. Prior to this Jeff has extensive experience in Aerospace & Defence having held senior roles for organisations such as GE, KPMG and British Airways.
