Colin Dai Appointed GPA Sales Director for China

Just months after announcing e-commerce services for Royal Mail at Air Cargo China, Glasgow Prestwick Airport (GPA) has appointed Colin Dai as Country Sales Director, China. His responsibilities include supporting and developing the airport’s e-commerce operations. He joins GPA from Trip.com Group where he was Senior Director, Global Partnerships, Marketing and Business Development. He previously held sales and marketing positions with Singapore Airlines, Virgin Atlantic and Qatar Airways, all based in Shanghai, China. As such, he has a solid background in aviation and e-commerce and brings with him a strong local network. This will support GPA’s strategy to promote its services in the Chinese e-commerce industry as it aims to become the UK’s leading international e-commerce hub. It offers 24/7 operations and fast turnover, and has recently invested over £2 million in new cargo equipment.

Colin Dai, China Country Sales Manager, GPA, said:With the rapid growth of Chinese e-commerce and the demand for it in the UK, there is a growing need for efficient and reliable international logistics solutions. I will focus on meeting these growing business needs by introducing GPA services to Chinese companies, leveraging the airport’s strategic location, state-of-the-art facilities and partnership with Royal Mail.”

Nico Le Roux, Business Development Director at GPA, said:China is one of the most dynamic e-commerce markets in the world and we are excited to have Colin on board to lead our efforts in the region. We are committed to delivering cost-effective, efficient solutions for e-commerce businesses looking to enter the UK market and Colin’s new role is testament to that..”
