Fuels attends JIG Technical Forum
Paul Murray, VP Operations Fuels, Jenny Brompton, Vice President HSSE & Operational Excellence Fuels, and Marco di Mario, SVP Fuels, attended the JIG Members’ Technical Forum (MTF) in Budapest earlier this month.

During the MTF, Jenny, who celebrated her five-year Menzies anniversary at the event, delivered a presentation on HSSE-MS compliance for fuel storage facilities, which was greatly appreciated by the audience and created the opportunity for future discussion on fire safety improvement at aviation storage facilities.
