Current UK Managing Director Andy Madge will retire, effective 1 July 2024, handing over responsibility for the UK and Ireland subsidiary to Mike Garrod
Mike Garrod, with extensive experience in the aerospace and defence sectors, joined Frequentis UK on 13 May to begin a phased handover to close Andy's seven successful years as Managing Director of the UK and Ireland subsidiary.
Frequentis UK operates across all five Frequentis business segments, including civil and military air traffic control, public transport, public safety, and maritime. Under Andy Madge's leadership, the company has experienced remarkable market growth, transforming from a small branch into a key contributor to the international success of the Frequentis Group, as well successfully navigating challenging times, including Brexit and the COVID-19 pandemic.
Prior to joining Frequentis, Mike Garrod served as the Managing Director of MKC Training, where he has overseen operations since September 2019. With a career spanning 16 years at the UK-based defence technology company QinetiQ, Mike has held various leadership roles in engineering, programme management, and business development, working on projects ranging from global navigation systems to electronic warfare.
"The Frequentis Executive Board expresses its sincere gratitude to Andy for his contributions over the last seven years. Under Andy's Leadership Frequentis UK gained prominent contracts including Metropolitan Police Service, West Yorkshire Fire Service, Maritime and Coastguard Agency and UK Ambulance Radio Programme, as well as fostering relationships with the long-term partners Ministry of Defence and National Air Traffic Services (NATS). We wish Andy all the best in his retirement and would like to warmly welcome Mike to continue to lead the company into its next phase of development," says Norbert Haslacher, CEO Frequentis.
The transition between Andy Madge and Mike Garrod will be managed from May until end of July 2024.
