Leanne Nutter takes on the role of Retail and Brand Director at Blackjack Promotions

Nutter has worked with the company, which is part of the ABM Group, for almost 20 years. Her roles included Head of Staffing and, more recently, Head of Travel Retail, Blackjack Promotions’ largest division.

Nutter will spearhead efforts to provide existing and prospective clients with creative ideas and solutions while identifying new opportunities across travel retail.

Commenting on her promotion, Nutter said: “During my 20 years of working with Blackjack Promotions we have been through huge growth and change, which has equipped me with a deep understanding of the business, our values, and our vision which I can bring to this new role.

“People are at the heart of the Blackjack Promotions business and I can’t wait to lead the team into a new era of travel retail as we return with passion, our entrepreneurial spirit and a new perspective.”

Nutter will be based at Blackjack Promotions’ head office at London Heathrow’s World Business Centre, reporting to ABM Aviation Group Managing Director Antony Marke.

Marke described Nutter’s knowledge and understanding of the business, and the industry as a whole, as “invaluable”.

“Working with Leanne over the last few years, she has been exemplary at delivering successful brand engagement and customer experience campaigns for all of our key brands.

“As Retail and Brand Director, Leanne will be integral in ensuring that our position as the UK’s leading travel retail and brand experience specialist is maintained and grown as the travel market recovers,” Marke added.

Blackjack Promotions, like many aviation and retail businesses, has been hit hard by the pandemic.

However, the business sought new opportunities to leverage the strength, skills and agility that its team has to offer.

As reported, Blackjack Promotions has provided manpower to support COVID-19 testing sites at Heathrow, Gatwick and Edinburgh airports and has redeployed hundreds of its team members into the NHS to support COVID-19 related activities.

In a recent guest column, Nutter, along with two or her Blackjack Promotions colleagues, explained why their people took priority during the industry’s biggest crisis to date… and how that crisis opened up new opportunities.
