BBC Correspondent Neil Bradford joins Luton Airport

London Luton Airport (LLA) has appointed former BBC senior reporter Neil Bradford as Stakeholder Communications Manager.

Neil (above) joins LLA following a career in broadcast journalism spanning almost 20 years. He will be a familiar face for many in the region, having spent the past three years as a Senior Reporter at BBC Look East and has also previously worked as a reporter and presenter for ITV Anglia.

In his new post, Neil will play a central role in communicating and explaining the airport’s transformation as it embarks on its £110 million redevelopment. Neil will liaise extensively with LLA’s commercial partners and supply chain as well as with passenger groups and political and community leaders throughout the transformation to ensure all stakeholders are informed about how LLA is delivering the transformation plans.
