New Business Development Director

National Express has appointed Martin Quail as Business Development Director in a move aimed at further strengthening its senior management team. Martin joins from risk management company, Aon plc, where he was Partnerships Director. He has extensive executive level experience, having previously been Corporate Partnerships Director at the RAC, where he was responsible for leading their £180m turnover business-to-business division. This appointment comes as National Express seeks to build on recent business successes, including a major deal with budget airline Ryanair and a partnership with The Post Office. Martin will be based in the operator’s Birmingham headquarters.

Martin said, ‘National Express is a great brand with an enviable heritage. My focus will be on driving the business forward by capitalising on untapped opportunities with partners and affiliates and building on recent success. It is an exciting time to join the business and I’m really looking forward to getting stuck into the job and working with our partners.’
