Gatwick Airport’s Consultative Committee is looking for a new chairman.

Current chairman Dr John Godfrey, pictured, is retiring at the end of the year after 11 years.

In its 62-year history, the 28-strong committee, Gatcom, has maintained an independent and unbiased approach in its over-arching objective, which is to ensure the future success of Gatwick while paying particular regard to the impact it has on the surrounding communities and the environment.

The new chairman or woman will be appointed for a minimum period of four years. Gatcom includes representatives from a wide range of interests.
