MICHAEL BARRETT TO DEPART APTRA

The Asia Pacific Travel Retail Association (APTRA) wishes to announce that Michael Barrett, Executive Officer, has decided to leave the Association this summer.

Barrett was appointed to the APTRA role in July 2010 and in the intervening years has helped to build the Association into a dynamic organisation that supports and nurtures the duty free & travel retail industry in Asia Pacific.

APTRA has embarked already on the process of recruiting a suitable candidate to replace Barrett and continue the valuable work of the Association.

Andrew Ford, President APTRA, commented: “On behalf of the Board I would like to thank Michael for all he has done to build APTRA and take it from its infant stage to its maturity as a strong regional duty free association. His energy, dedication and resourcefulness have contributed enormously to the co-ordination of APTRA’s advocacy campaigns, the management of a wide-ranging research programme and the development of respected seminars and training initiatives. We wish him well in his future endeavours.”

Interested candidates are invited to send their CV with a covering email to [email protected].
