Speeches by Cadbury.

“We have been focusing on expansion and taking the rise in demand as read. I would like to probe that. I do not mind which of you answers, but what is causing the rise in demand? Who is flying more? Is it Brits flying abroad? Is it overseas people bringing money and jobs and whatever to the UK? Is it long haul or short …”

“I know Paul Beckford because, when I was deputy leader of Hounslow council from 2010 to 2012, the council employed Paul as a consultant on Heathrow issues.”

“Is it Brits flying abroad or overseas people spending money in the UK?”
