In this episode Stefan Murphy, CEO of Unifi UK & Ireland, speaks to the GHI Podcast team about his remarkable journey from washing cars to a chance trip to the airport that culminated in setting up UK business Up & Away Aviation in 2008. The company was later acquired by Unifi in 2023, and this year Unifi secured its first UK business aviation ground handling contract at London Oxford Airport, marking a key milestone in its global growth.
