👋 Say hello to Thomas Nielsen, Safety Officer at Copenhagen Airport (CPH).

Thomas is responsible for upholding the highest safety and security standards for our operations in Copenhagen. He regularly carries out Quality Control Inspections using SMART, an exclusive app used by Menzies employees and is responsible for training his colleagues on how to use this cutting-edge tool effectively. 📱

Having visible and accessible managers throughout his nine years at Menzies has been key to fostering Thomas’s health and wellbeing, something which he prioritises. “There’s a real open-door culture at Menzies where you always have the opportunity to share your concerns or problems at any time, which has proven invaluable,” he says.

“Having overcome addiction problems some years earlier, in 2018 I decided that it was time to step-up and change my unhealthy lifestyle so that I had a much greater chance of growing old with my family and for my children,” he explains.

Thomas took up running and cycling and made the decision to complete the Ironman challenge before he turned 40 in 2025. This August, that’s exactly what he’ll do, cheered on by his Menzies colleagues. “I was determined to take on the Ironman challenge to show my children that you can overcome any challenge you set yourself. I’m thankful for the support my colleagues have shown me and look forward to the challenge ahead,” Thomas explained.

All of us at Menzies wish you all the very best of luck for your Ironman challenge this summer, Thomas. You are an inspiration! 👏
