Dear Mr Amess MP,
Thank you for your letter dated 18th April addressed to Mr E Stobart, inviting him to meet with a group of your constituents with concerns about the airport expansion.
I am afraid that Eddie Stobart retired from the business many years ago and Stobart Group plc is led by our Chief Executive Andrew Tinkler.
You may recall from our earlier correspondence that I have myself been trying to arrange a private meeting for some time with Kiti Theobald, chairman of an anti expansion group, although to date she has declined these invitations.
Having spoken with Andrew Tinkler, might we suggest that in principle we would be very happy to join you in a private meeting with your constituents and suggest the meeting may best be held in your offices in London to suit you.
As you will appreciate, it would be helpful to understand who the constituents are and any particular concerns you are aware of in advance of any such meeting.
If you would be supportive of this approach, perhaps your office could liaise with Nicola Charles on 01702 608### and we look forward to making the appropriate arrangements.
With kind regards
Yours sincerely
Alastair Welch
Managing Director
