Press Release

Issued by British Business and General Aviation Association.

May 12, 2011

In April 2010 Guy Lachlan, the Association's CEO, resigned his position so as to pursue development of his family business. Following a restructuring of the roles and responsibilities, Marc Bailey was appointed as the Association's Chief Operating Officer (COO) in December 2010 and assumed responsibility for all operational and regulatory matters. At the same time Guy was retained on a short term contract to discharge the remaining responsibilities of the office of the CEO on a part time basis and to support the transition of Marc into his new COO role.

With this transition now complete and with the success and growth in Guy's business it was mutually agreed that this would be an appropriate time to support Guy's need to focus on the continuing development of his family business. Guy will therefore be resigning his position with immediate effect. Pending the appointment of a new CEO in due course, the Chairman and Council members will provide support and assistance as may be necessary.

Since joining the association in December 2007, Guy has given his level best to promote and to support the continuing development of the BBGA and to represent the best interests of our membership. We wish him well in his new enterprise and thank him for the tremendous efforts during his tenure.
