August 5, 2013 – G2 Crew Services, the recently formed JV between Griffin and GAC, announced today the appointment of Gary Pearce as CEO with effect from 5th August. Previously Senior Vice President Global Energy Services for Carlson Wagonlit Travel (CWT), Gary Pearce led the team responsible for CWT’s strong growth and high levels of customer satisfaction within the Offshore and Energy sector.
“Whether their origins are in crew or corporate travel, the offshore industry is served by companies limited to providing point-to-point air travel” said Gary Pearce. “G2 now changes this by offering a seamless ‘door-to-deck’ service including meet & greet, immigration services and ‘last mile’ transfers to enhance the experience of all travelers, both executives and crew while optimizing operational efficiency, duty of care and cost”, he added.
