ABM UK, a subsidiary of US-based facility, engineering and infrastructure solutions provider ABM, has appointed Kelly Parish as its vice president of transport and aviation.
Parish, who most recently served as director of transport and aviation at Mitie, brings more than 15 years’ experience to the role.
She will replace Jim Niblock, managing director of transport and aviation at ABM UK, who will retire from the role after a career of 30 years, seven of which were spent growing ABM’s aviation presence to 17 airports in the UK and Ireland and over 40 airlines.
Parish will report to Richard Sykes, senior vice president and president for the UK and Ireland at ABM, who said she joins at a “pivotal time” for the company.
ABM’s integrated approach continues to grow its presence in the aviation sector, with services that include cabin secure cleaning, ground handling, special assistance, facilities management, engineering, bussing, airside logistics, security, and passenger experience.
In April this year, ABM UK announced a new partnership with Edinburgh Airport to deliver facilities management solutions to Scotland's busiest airport.
“Building on this breadth of expertise, Kelly Parish will be central to extending ABM’s capabilities to meet the evolving needs of the wider transport sector,” the company said.
