20th Anniversary Tributes
Travel Retail Voices
Edrington Global Travel Retail Regional Managing Director Jeremy Speirs
The Moodie Davitt report has provided must-read commentary on the travel retail industry over the past two decades, routinely breaking major stories and leading on major industry trends – the ascent of Hainan being just one very recent example. It has been a fantastic partner to Edrington and has played a key role in shining a light on The Macallan’s journey in travel retail. Whether it was the opening of our new distillery in Speyside or boutiques at locations around the world, the Moodie Davitt team has been in attendance, delivering quality, in-depth editorial coverage. We’ll be sure to raise a dram in Cannes to Martin, Dermot and the team.
Groupe ADP Chief Retail Officer Aude Ferrand
20 years of news and insight – The Moodie Davitt Report team is always at the heart of the fast moving travel retail activity. Congratulations!
Dallas Fort Worth International Airport Executive Vice President of Customer Experience & Revenue Management Ken Buchanan and Executive Vice President Revenue Management and Vice President Concessions Zenola Campbell
The Moodie Davitt Report has provided insight on the travel retail business for two decades which has been invaluable to DFW as we worked to transform our concessions programme over the years.
We have used the connections and information to improve our concession retail and food offerings and at the conferences made great connections.
The Moodie Davitt Report has provided insight on how important it is to bring our partners, both airlines and concessionaires, together to provide the best customer experience for our customers and to better understand the complexities of all sides of the business. We want to thank the team and congratulate them on this milestone.
Rituals Global Travel Retail Director Melvin Broekaart
As a brand that recently celebrated its own 20th anniversary, Rituals understands what an achievement it is to keep innovating, remain relevant and stay ahead of the curve for two decades. This is particularly true in the world of publishing which has been completely transformed during that time by the rise of digital and online media.
The Moodie Davitt Report continues to be an invaluable source of information on our industry and a fantastic media partner to our brand. We wish Martin, Dermot and the rest of our friends at The Moodie Davitt Report our warmest congratulations and every success for the future.
Jonathan Holland (Jonathan Holland & Associates)
Congratulations on your 20th anniversary – a fantastic achievement indeed!! Well done.
There are many Chinese proverbs/expressions that can be used to illustrate your successful longevity & professional achievements but the three below are all relevant I feel.
千里之行始于足下
Qiān lǐ zhī xíng shǐ yú zú xià
A long march starts from a single step (down to the garden shed!)
发愤忘食 [發憤忘食]
Fā fèn wàng shí
Working so hard as to forget to eat (but not to drink!)
人心齐，泰山移。
Rénxīn qí, Tàishān yí
When people work with one heart, they can even move Mount Tai.
With time and patience, the mulberry leaf becomes a silk gown (and what a quality gown & product you have created!)
