Perth Airport has celebrated 30 years of partnership with hospitality and retail operator Delaware North, recognising three decades of investment, growth and service to passengers.
The partnership begun with Café Tre Volo, Delaware North’s first outlet at the Australian gateway, and since then, the company has opened at least one new venue on average each year, introducing new food and beverage concepts and continuing to invest in the passenger experience.
During this time Delaware North’s Perth Airport workforce has grown from around 30 employees when operations began to more than 320 people today.
The airport’s chief commercial and aviation officer, Kate Holsgrove, noted that Delaware North maintained operations during the COVID-19 pandemic, supporting essential travel while Perth Airport remained one of the few airports globally continuing to serve passengers.
Gary Brown, managing director for Delaware North Australia and New Zealand, said the milestone was a testament to the enduring partnership between Delaware North and Perth Airport and the people who had helped shape it over the past 30 years.
He enthused: “Perth Airport has been an important part of our story in Australia for three decades. We are proud of what we have built together, from a single café to an award-winning portfolio of hospitality and retail experiences.
“This milestone reflects the strength of our partnership with Perth Airport and the incredible contribution of the team members, past and present, who have helped create memorable experiences for travellers every day.”
