Wardle brings almost a decade of operational leadership experience, having managed large-scale teams, transformation projects and multi-million-pound portfolios across the North West.

Matthew Ratcliffe, chief operating officer said: "Operational excellence underpins everything we do at CMAC and this role ensures our systems, people and processes deliver consistently and efficiently.

“Paul was chosen for his great people-first leadership, ability to optimise resources and his commitment to building scalable processes - we’re very pleased to have him join our team.”

Wardle added: “CMAC has established itself as a trusted partner to some of the world’s leading airlines, travel companies, corporates and transport providers.

"I’m excited to build on that foundation, ensuring our operations remain resilient and capable of delivering exceptional service as the company continues to grow both in the UK and internationally.”
