It was in his previous roles that David became aware of Chapman Freeborn. He explains, “In transportation logistics, Chapman Freeborn is a household name.

In his role of Global Director – Government & Humanitarian, David will be developing governmental and humanitarian air opportunities on a global scale, ensuring this happens in a coordinated, centralised and transparent manner across the Chapman Freeborn Group.

My role is to empower teams across the world, underpinning the foundation they work upon and providing sharp tools for them to do their jobs.
