👋 Say hello to Gerry Duffett, Cargo Systems Manager at Heathrow Airport (LHR) who this month celebrates an extraordinary milestone: 35 years at Menzies Aviation.

“My driving force over the last 35 years is to ensure cargo has the focus and recognition it deserves, and to make our systems the market leader,” Gerry says. “We focus a lot on aircraft turns and passenger numbers, but as we found during Covid, cargo is an important part of our business.” 📦

Looking back at his impressive tenure at Menzies, Gerry’s career highlight is seeing the Menzies Aviation Cargo Handling (MACH) cargo management system going live.

“I have many highlights to choose from but witnessing MACH going live for the first time has to top the list,” Gerry explains. “The system started life on a single presentation in a workshop, and 10 months later was supporting cargo movements across the world.”

“35 years ago, I started a warehouse job in an industry I knew nothing about. Now, I’m running projects and implementing systems around the world. I will forever be grateful to Menzies for giving me so many incredible opportunities,” Gerry concludes. 💙

Congratulations, Gerry on reaching 35 years at Menzies and thank you for your hard work and dedication. 🎉
