Ski-Lifts Appoints John McEwan as Chairman

 

Award-winning online transfer-booking specialist Ski-Lifts is delighted to announce the appointment of travel industry expert John McEwan as Chairman.

John’s role at Ski-Lifts, alongside sister brands golf-drives.com and sea-lifts.com, comes at an exciting time in the company’s development, following recent extensive investment to support its growth strategy into new areas.

Commenting, John McEwan says ‘I’m really looking forward to this new role, particularly at such a key time in the company’s development.  Airport transfers are an important component of the holiday experience and the reassurance of knowing you have safe, reliable transfers when you arrive at your destination airport can’t be underestimated.  Ski-Lifts, along with the sister brands, has achieved impressive growth in the past 15 years.  They have a dynamic team on board and I believe there is great potential for further expansion.  I look forward to working with them to identify other high-growth vertical sectors to develop into.’

Richard Smith, Managing Director of Ski-Lifts adds ‘We’re delighted to welcome someone of John’s stature in the industry to our business.  His leadership, advice and expertise will be invaluable as we look to expand and develop the company into new areas.  Following on from the recent investment, we can now explore a wealth of new opportunities that were previously out of our reach.  The overall airport transfer market is estimated to be worth £17.1bn by 2023, and we are now well-placed to take full advantage of this.  We look forward to exciting times ahead.’

John has had a lifetime career in travel. He started as a trainee with Thomas Cook and went on to become managing director, UK at the age of 36, introducing the famous strapline “Don’t just book it, Thomas Cook it” and then MD of the international business, comprising some 54 countries.  In 2000 he moved to become the MD of Lunn Poly and subsequently Retail Director TUI UK, and then was appointed as CEO, Advantage Travel Centres in 2004.  Having retired from this role in April 2013, John was elected as the first chairman of ABTA in 2009 and served a 4-year term.  He is chairman of Holidaysplease Limited, EFR Travel Limited, Amber Road Travel Limited and Latin Routes Limited. He is also chairman of the advisory board of Travel Ledger.

Airport transfer types to suit all budgets

From shared shuttles to luxury SUVs — choose the service that suits you

shared ski transfer Great Value

Shared Transfer

A shared transfer offers an excellent balance of convenience and value. You’ll travel with other passengers arriving on similar flights, typically with a short wait at the airport and a limited number of additional stops before reaching your destination. Unlike scheduled shuttle buses, shared transfers provide door-to-door service wherever vehicle access allows, making them among the most popular and cost-effective ways to travel.

private ski transfer Most Popular

Private Transfer

A private transfer is the fastest and most convenient way to travel from the airport to your accommodation. With exclusive use of the vehicle, you’ll travel directly to your destination without additional passenger stops. Private transfers provide a door-to-door service wherever vehicle access allows, making them ideal for families, groups and travellers carrying ski equipment.

Coach ski transfers

Coach Transfer

A coach transfer is the ideal solution for larger groups travelling together. With plenty of room for passengers, luggage, and ski equipment, coach transfers provide a convenient door-to-door service wherever vehicle access is available, ensuring your entire group arrives together.

luxury ski transfers Premium

Luxury Transfer

A luxury transfer provides a premium door-to-door service with spacious, high-specification vehicles and direct transport to your accommodation wherever vehicle access allows. Whether you’re travelling as a couple, family or small group, luxury transfers offer additional comfort, privacy and a refined start to your holiday.

sustainable ski transfer

Eco- Friendly Transfer

An eco-friendly transfer lets you travel in a lower-emission vehicle while enjoying the same reliable door-to-door service. It’s an excellent choice for travellers who want to reduce their environmental impact without compromising on comfort, convenience or luggage space.

ski shuttle bus transfer Budget Friendly

Scheduled Shuttle Transfer

A scheduled shuttle transfer is a budget-friendly option that operates to a fixed timetable and is shared with other passengers travelling to the same resort or nearby destinations. Pick-up and drop-off are usually at designated meeting points rather than individual accommodation, helping to keep costs low. Scheduled shuttles are ideal for travellers with flexible arrival times looking for an affordable way to reach the mountains.
