The Co-founder of Ryanair, Kell Ryan, spoke to over 400 people at the latest Enterprise Tuesday session held at the University of Cambridge yesterday.

Having gained experience working for more than 30 years in the airline industry, first for the Irish national airline Aer Lingus and then Ryanair, he spoke about the impact of understanding and fulfilling customer’s needs on business success.

Kell headed the major and crucial transfer of Ryanair to Stansted and has spent a number of years primarily promoting and marketing Ryanair within Europe.

His insights into the success behind Ryanair and the importance of good customer service, training, marketing, sales, operations, and media communications were invaluable to the aspiring entrepreneurs in the audience.
