Anushka embarks on Innovative Future Leaders Programme

Anushka Padhye

Anushka Padhye was delighted to attend her first workshop on the IFLP – Innovative Future Leaders Programme at Henley Business School this week! She is part of the seventh cohort of IFLP alongside 15 other participants from 11 leading organisations.

IFLP is a leadership and business transformation programme for the built environment sector that provides new perspectives and growth opportunity for construction clients, consultancies, principal contractors, suppliers and specialists.

Over the next 12 months Anushka will work with innovators from within the sector, in government and way beyond the sector such as Google and ex-athletes. She will learn new ways to collaborate and drive innovation, as well as how to apply these new tools in our business, and will develop her leadership skills even further.

We’re excited to watch Anushka progress and hear all about this brilliant programme!

Passenger demand and capacity expertise

With record-breaking passenger numbers predicted to be moving through airports this year, the efficiency of their journey is a key consideration for AiQ’s work with airports throughout the world.

As global experts in constrained and saturated airports, we approach the capacity and the operation with not only a scientific approach to big data, but also with a strong emphasis on the passenger journey and experience.

There are lots of different things that need to be considered when you’re looking at passengers at an airport.

Christmas charity donations

Instead of sending Christmas cards this year we have donated to two very worthwhile charities, you can find out more about them below.

Magic Breakfast are a brilliant charity who ensure that no child in their partner schools is too hungry to learn by providing healthy breakfast food as well as expert support to help identify and reach those pupils at risk of hunger. A hungry child cannot concentrate so could miss out on half a day of lessons every school day if not given anything nutritious to eat first thing.
