Three people run this business, and all three are reachable. That is not a boast about size — it is the reason the standard does not drift between stations.
A career in aviation security spanning three decades, with training programmes designed alongside the DfT, City & Guilds, Renful and Dubai Police. It is that regulatory depth — knowing the standard from the inside — that underpins how Pyrex operates.
With over thirty years’ experience in aviation, Peter is responsible for the successful delivery of the service across every UK airport we operate at. He is the principal contact for our airline clients, accountable for the commercial performance of each contract, and the escalation point for the managers who run the stations.
Ten years working with airlines, and day-to-day responsibility for our Heathrow operation — operational delivery, compliance and contract governance. He is the on-site contact our clients deal with directly, which is why airline station managers tend to write to him by name.
