Wells’ original key area of focus at Gate Gourmet was working with the unions at Heathrow, setting up joint action teams to look for cost-saving opportunities and shaping a change programme to turn around a business that was making a substantial loss. He participated in all the negotiations with the Heathrow unions and was on site last August when the wildcat strike took place.

Members of the club who would like to hear what really happened, what the future holds for Gate Gourmet and what HR can learn from the experience, should attend the next HR Directors Club Breakfast Briefing on 23 February.
