Episode 4 - Heathrow and English Heritage Leading with James Ashton

John Holland-Kaye and Kate Mavor join James Ashton to discuss investing in the past, building for the future, being yourself as the boss, changing staff culture and selling the best cake.
John Holland-Kaye is the chief executive of Heathrow, the UK’s largest airport through which more than 80m passengers passed last year. It’s no slouch at cargo either, handling about £130bn of goods annually.
If all goes according to plan, Heathrow should become significantly larger in 2026 when a third runway opens after years of political to-ing and fro-ing and significant opposition.
Holland-Kaye is used to big building projects. He oversaw development of Heathrow’s new Terminal 2 which opened in 2014, the year he got the top job.
Kate Mavor is the chief executive of English Heritage, the protector some of the country’s oldest historical sites and monuments including Stonehenge, Dover Castle and Hadrian’s Wall. She joined in 2015 when the organisation gained charitable status and began the countdown to 2023 when its government funding will disappear.
On Mavor’s watch, English Heritage now has more than 1m members and recorded 6.5m visits to its main sites last year. She was formerly the chief executive of the National Trust for Scotland and earlier in her career led a management buyout of the interpreting service, Language Line.
