Happy 20th anniversary to you, Martin and Dermot, and to your whole team! We´re very pleased to celebrate two decades of ‘Moodie’ with you – two decades in which you have never stood still, but have always aimed at developing further to provide the travel retail sector with the latest news worldwide.
You have managed to build up a huge network and to create a multi-media universe. We highly appreciate your profound know-how and your support for our industry, thanks to your reliable, independent and profound reporting. Every point of contact with you is always a pleasure for us. Only the best for the upcoming two decades!”
Lagardère Travel Retail Chairman & CEO Dag Rasmussen
On behalf of the entire Lagardère travel Retail network, I would like to warmly congratulate Martin, Dermot and their teams on this great milestone. Over two decades, the Moodie Davitt Report has established itself as a leading publication, the first to holistically cover the travel experience across retail, convenience and F&B and to break top stories.
Moodie Davitt’s coverage and insights have considerably enriched the global industry conversation, in particular by spearheading the Trinity Forum initiative and driving further collaboration within travel retail. It has been fascinating to see it move to the digital era of news. To be a witness to how you have championed the industry when it was at its worst and celebrated its greatest successes. Travel retail just wouldn’t be what it is without The Moodie Davitt Report. We expect it to continue to be a significant pillar in our ecosystem for many more years.
Aer Rianta International CEO Ray Hernan
