Raven Fox: " new finance director and company secretary and general counsel will join Alpha Airports Group this autumn

Alpha Airports Group has appointed Mark Adams as finance director and Andrew Magowan as company secretary and general counsel. The move resolves some of the personnel concerns that have dogged Alpha since its shares were delisted in April. Adams replaces Tim Redburn, who took on the role of finance director for an interim period after Heather McRae resigned following the company's share suspension.
Adams was previously chief financial officer at STA Travel Group, which he joined in 2000 from rail franchise operator Prism Rail, where he was finance director. He will join Alpha's main board on October 16, working alongside Redburn for a handover period.
Magowan joins Alpha from Associated British Foods, where he held the position of senior lawyer. He will take up his post on November 20. Alpha CEO and chairman Peter Williams commented: 'We are delighted to welcome Mark and Andrew to Alpha. Both bring a wealth of financial, legal and commercial expertise, and will add further depth to the new management team.'
The company is still looking for a permanent replacement for group chairman Graham Frost, who stepped down in July."
