THE boss of Bournemouth firm Quantum Recruitment has become the latest member of the Bournemouth Air Festival Patrons 100 Club.

Managing partner Jacqueline Entwistle was welcomed by David Bailey, patrons’ ambassador, pictured above, at an event at the Hotel Miramar.

Mr Bailey, who is also hotel director at the Miramar, said: “Since setting up the patrons’ scheme, we have successfully sponsored the twilight events at the Air Festival and also been able to make substantial donations each year to nominated charities, including the Jon Egging Trust.”

Jacqueline Entwistle said she had loved planes since her early career, when she traded in military aircraft spares.

She said: “Being able to support the Air Festival through Quantum Recruitment is fantastic. It’s such an important event for the town in so many ways – it’s great for the local economy, a perfect platform for recruitment for the armed forces but above all it’s exciting and amazing fun.”
