Rod Fletcher, who has been Managing Director of Landor LINKS since 2006, is stepping down from his role. Daniel Simpson and Jason Conboy will be promoted to Joint Managing Directors, effective from 1 November. This transition brings both continuity and a fresh generational shift, marking a new era for a business that’s been at the heart of the transport sector for over 35 years.

Rod will continue to play an active role as a Director, working closely with Chairman Peter Stonham to guide the operational transition while upholding the unique Landor ethos. The company, an independent publishing and events leader in the transport sector, is poised to embark on an exciting new chapter. 

Jason joined Landor LINKS in 2011 and has been our Commercial Development Manager since 2017. Daniel, who started in 2006, has served as Commercial Director since 2016. Now both Executive Directors, they bring extensive experience, industry knowledge, and a deep commitment to the transport sector to their new roles. 

Company founders Peter Stonham and Rod Fletcher will remain engaged, leading specific projects and supporting the executive team. 

Additionally, Daniel Simpson and Jason Conboy have been invited to acquire a majority ownership in Landor LINKS. 

Fittingly, in a joint statement, Jason and Daniel said: "It is an incredible honour to take on this leadership role in a business we are both passionate about. 

"We would like to express our sincere gratitude to our outgoing Managing Director, Rod. His leadership, vision, and unwavering commitment over the years have, with Peter, shaped Landor LINKS into the company it is today. Rod has been a source of inspiration for us all, and we are truly thankful for his dedication and impact.

"Sincere thanks also to our Chairman, Peter, for the trust he has placed in us. This opportunity is a significant milestone, and we are eager to build on the solid foundation laid by Rod, Peter and the entire team.

"As we step into this next chapter, we are committed to continuing the legacy of commitment, innovation, excellence, and collaboration that defines Landor LINKS. We are really excited about what lies ahead.”  

Rod Fletcher said: "It’s been the honour and privilege of my life to have had the opportunity to help build and eventually lead a unique business. One that has constantly adapted, innovated and displayed resilience to provide a valued professional focus connecting people, knowledge and ideas across the transport sector. It’s been a journey of adventure. Impossible without the creativity, commitment and dedication of all the amazing colleagues, clients and collaborators with whom I’ve shared the journey." 

Peter Stonham said: "We are lucky to have Jason and Daniel within the company as such fitting candidates to now take the reins. Rod and I will support them in this important step for themselves and the company. They know and manifest the special Landor ethos that Rod and I nurtured over four decades, and recognise the key role we play in this very special transport sector. I wish them well at this exciting time."
