After attending a previous careers fair, Dave Toulson joined Newcastle International Airport as a seasonal car parking operative.

He said: “After 35 years with a major UK bank, I decided to semi-retire and search for a new role that offered a better work life balance.

“I saw the advert for Newcastle International Airport’s Careers Fair on Facebook, and as soon as I walked into St James’ Park, I was pulled in by the warmth of the airport team.

“I spent time chatting to my now car park colleagues and discovered the car park operative role was exactly what I was looking for.”
