About & Contact
Dr Dave Bryon is the former Managing Director of bmibaby, which grew to become one of the Europe's largest low cost airlines under his leadership. He now enjoys a successful media career that includes a highly popular after-dinner comedy routine (based around flying), professional business speaking, awards evening host, conference facilitator, and TV presenting.
He is a regular guest on various
national programmes including Radio Five Live, BBC Radio 2, BBC
News 24, and Sky News. His client list is impressive, and includes
Accenture, Barclays Bank, BP, Sun MicroSystems, the FA, Chevron,
Deutsche Bank, and the Kuwait National Government.
Dave was born and raised in the
SE of England. He completed a degree and PhD in Geology at the
University of Liverpool before becoming involved with the early
evolution of the internet and ecommerce. He moved to America in
1996 and continued to work within the ecommerce sector. He also
started writing a humorous newspaper column looking at life in
America through the eyes of a cynical Englishman. This became very
successful and also led to Dave hosting his own TV talk show that
broadcast on regional cable channel.
Dave returned to the UK in 2000
to take-up a position with the airline bmi, and was part of the
senior management team that set-up the low cost carrier bmibaby in
2002. He was Commercial Director for 18 months before being
appointed Managing Director. bmibaby reached a peak of 4.5m
passengers per year and an annual turnover in excess of £200m. It
was sold to IAG (British Airways) in 2012 along with the parent
company (bmi).
He lives in Burton on Trent and is an avid supporter of Burton Albion Football Club. Dave is a qualified BSUPA Level 2 Stand-Up Paddleboard instructor and runs a SUP school on the River Trent...when the weather permits.
