FTA’s Director of Operations, Chris Lipscomb, said: “FTA’s VIS team provides a blue riband service for our members, and Mick’s appointment will strengthen our commitment to the continuous improvement of the work we do for our members, as well as for our team of highly-qualified engineers. Mick’s experience, gained working with some of the UK’s biggest brand names, will bolster our VIS management team and ensure that the service remains the industry leader in on-site inspections for vehicles of all sizes.”

Having qualified as an automotive engineer, Parcell joined British Airways (BA) where he helped to maintain its 3,500-strong fleet of ground support equipment. Following BA, Parcell undertook a safety role with Babcock International, having obtained a diploma in workplace health and safety.
