Lord Deighton\u2019s breadth of experience in funding and delivering major projects is unrivalled. He is widely respected in the financial, infrastructure and political communities. Under Sir Nigel Rudd<\/a>\u2019s leadership, Heathrow<\/a> has been transformed into one of the great airports of the world. Lord Deighton will guide Heathrow through its next phase of development, supporting Heathrow\u2019s vision of giving passengers the best airport service in the world and preparing for the Government\u2019s decision on airport expansion.<\/p>\n

Following a very successful career at Goldman Sachs<\/a>, Lord Deighton delivered the 2012 London Olympic Games to international acclaim as CEO of LOCOG<\/a> (London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games), enhancing the UK\u2019s reputation for infrastructure service delivery and generating national pride. Recently, as Commercial Secretary to the Treasury, Lord Deighton was responsible for the UK\u2019s National Infrastructure Plan<\/a>, focussing on getting major projects built, benefits captured , attracting capital into the UK from across the world and creating the right environment for continued infrastructure investment.<\/p>\n

Commenting on his appointment, Lord Deighton said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Over the past decade, Heathrow has been transformed by \u00a311bn of private investment into a world-class airport that Britain can be proud of. It is Britain’s front door – providing a warm welcome to visitors and connecting all parts of our island trading nation to the emerging and international markets of the world that fuel growth, create jobs and drive exports. \u201cI’m delighted to be joining a team with an ambition to give passengers the best airport service in the world and focussed on delivering the runway that will keep Britain at the heart of the global economy.”<\/p>\n

Heathrow CEO John Holland-Kaye said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cLord Deighton\u2019s experience is tailor made for Heathrow. He understands the importance of world class national infrastructure as well as delivering outstanding service. He has exactly the skills we need to develop Heathrow as the best connected and most sustainable airport in the world.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would like to thank and pay tribute to Sir Nigel and his great stewardship as Chairman over the last nine years, transforming Heathrow into one of the world’s great airports.\u201d<\/p>\n
