Nigel Mayes to Join Routes' Sister Team ASM

Manchester, England (ots/PRNewswire) -

Routes to recruit new Head of Content and Industry Relations

Nigel Mayes has been appointed to the new role of Senior Vice
President Consulting & Product Development at ASM, the sister team to
Routes that provides air service development consultancy and
services.

ASM, the leading global route development consultancy and Routes,
organisers of the world's leading air service development events and
digital platform, are both part of UBM Live and have been sister
teams for over 20 years.

David Stroud, Director ASM at UBM Live, said: "The fantastic
experience, profile and network that Nigel has developed during his
time at Routes will offer new perspectives to ASM as we enter a new
era through his relationships, commercial and product development
skills. We look forward to having Nigel on board and to continuing to
work closely with our sister team at Routes."

"Routes and ASM already collaborate closely, and Nigel's new role
will further strengthen the ties between the two teams," said Katie
Bland, Director Routes at UBM Live: "Routes is currently recruiting
for a new Head of Content and Industry Relations and this appointment
will further strengthen UBM Live's existing route development
expertise and will add new insight to both our event and digital
content, our industry relations and partnerships."

Nigel has 15 years' experience in the aviation industry, having
previously worked for Birmingham International Airport, followed by a
6-year period at ASM as a consultant. Five years ago, Nigel moved to
Routes to drive the commercial success of the organisation, which
today organises World Routes - the world's largest air service
development event that assembles the world's airlines, airports and
stakeholders to negotiate air service; a portfolio of market-leading
Routes regional forums and Routesonline - the leading digital route
development platform.

Nigel, who is moving into his new role at ASM in March, commented
on his appointment: "I'm proud to have played a key role in the
development of Routes to support the needs of the global air service
development community and am looking forward to the new challenge
with the team at ASM to provide world class route development for
ASM's ever growing list of global clients."
