Steve Buckerfield, director – cargo sales at Virgin Atlantic, said: “We are delighted to give Sumith this great opportunity to grow his career with the airline. Since joining our Sales team in 2014, he has built up a loyal following in his customer base and helped to increase our revenues with key accounts through his strong customer focus approach.
