ABOUT DAVID GEORGE

David is the CEO of Brookfield Aviation International. His journey into the aviation industry was unconventional. After leaving school, he embarked on an adventure with a traveling circus, followed by a stint as a salesman and then seven years as a professional photographer for newspapers in Devon and South Wales.

In 1985, he made a career switch and joined an IT recruitment company in London, co-owned by his future partner, Bernie Duffield. They specialized in recruiting software developers for airline reservation systems and later expanded to pilot and engineer contracting, which led to the establishment of Brookfield Aviation in 1993.
