Chapman Freeborn strengthens global music and entertainment team
Paul Kindred and Chloe Phelps will be developing charter opportunities, coordinating events and looking out for up and coming artists, ensuring the client roster stays ahead of the curve.

Chapman Freeborn has made two key appointments to its music and entertainment vertical team following a major investment in its global network strategy.

Paul Kindred, senior business development manager, music and entertainment, brings more than three decades of experience in developing the music and entertainment business, including stints at Premier Aviation UK and Air Partner, as well as 25 years working at major record companies, including 10 years working at Sony Music Entertainment.

He is to lead the team alongside Chloe Phelps, who has been newly appointed as team leader, music and entertainment. Both are based out of the company's London Gatwick airport headquarters.

“Chapman Freeborn has been chartering aircraft for the music industry since 1973, impressively coordinating major music tours, festivals and one-off concerts for household names, right from the start,” says Kindred. “Chapman's music and entertainment division is supported by experienced teams strategically located in all corners of the globe, that have deep inside knowledge of local and regional markets and are therefore able to offer better, more tailored solutions to clients, no matter their need or location.”

Meanwhile, Phelps originally joined Chapman Freeborn in 2018 as part of the tour support team. Her reassignment means she will be managing chartering services for music tours as well as nurturing and strengthening client relationships.

“Chapman Freeborn has an extensive global network that allows us to offer a bespoke, on demand service for clients no matter the requirements and despite it being such a high-pressured, high profile, fast-paced industry,” she says. “Central to my role will be looking out for promising up and coming artists, thereby ensuring our client roster stays ahead of the curve as our music and entertainment vertical plays an even bigger role in our ongoing global growth strategy.”

Chapman Freeborn has made several appointments throughout the EU to strengthen its presence on the ground to meet increasing numbers of live events as the music and entertainment industry recovers post-COVID.
