Left before the new guy came in. He's been gone a while I believe - he was pushed into a different role and went quickly after that

Are there any senior(ish) staff from before the takeover left? And if so, who?

It is usual for takeovers to include a complete change of managerial post holders.

The only other one I’m aware of is Ian Hargreaves as head of finance but he has other and far more important priorities just now.

Very much an ALK hire. A lot of their hires have been and gone.

Indeed, but it was not a question about Thompson I was responding to

there has been a revolving door for some of the roles, particularly around the commercial side

ALK got quite a few interim consultants in at the start, it needed it.

Thompson didn’t come in at the start - think his first role was head of staff

Surprised at this as he's forever appearing on Linked In talking about how great things are at BFC but I guess that's just been the normal insincere corporate BS we see in all walks of life.
