As part of the deal, Menzies will acquire a customs bonded warehouse of 10,000 sq ft in Vancouver. This will be the first Air Menzies International office in Canada, as the business looks to expand its presence across the country. GTO’s owner Darrell Keen, who founded the business 15 years ago, will become head of AMI’s Canadian operations, with all other employees also joining AMI’s operations.
