Senior hire to support scaling of airport operations

Aurrigo International plc (AIM: AURR), a leading international provider of autonomy software, fully autonomous vehicles and mobile robotics platforms, is pleased to announce the appointment of Mark Gower as Director, Global Airport Operations (non-board position).

This newly created role supports Aurrigo's next phase of growth as it moves from proof-of-concept trials to scaled, repeatable commercial deployments of its autonomous vehicle solutions at airports. With multiple deployments already live, the Company is strengthening end-to-end delivery and building a more standardised global operating model.

Mark brings more than 25 years' experience leading safety-critical aviation operations. Most recently, he was Managing Director of Gatwick Ground Services (a wholly owned subsidiary of British Airways), where he grew the business from 340 to more than 1,200 employees at one of the UK's busiest airports.

Prior to this, Mark held senior leadership roles at Aviator Airport Alliance, where he was responsible for approximately 8,000 employees across five UK locations. He has extensive experience working in regulated environments and managing complex, large-scale operations, including full profit and loss accountability.

Mark Gower, Director of Global Airport Operations at Aurrigo International, commented: "Aurrigo has already made strong progress in getting its technology into live airport operations. I'm joining at a point where there's a clear opportunity to build consistency and scale from that foundation, and I'm looking forward to being part of that next stage."

Prof. David Keene MBE, CEO of Aurrigo International, commented: "We are very pleased to welcome Mark to Aurrigo. His background in large-scale airport operations and delivery will be a strong addition to the team as we continue to build momentum and move towards a more structured and scalable approach across our deployment programme."
