Earlier in his career, Melling worked for American Express in a range of top flight positions, including a stint as head of international customer management and cross-sales when he increased both brand loyalty and sales through the use of innovative sales strategies.

Melling has stated his excitement at the opportunity his new role presents, and to collaborating with colleagues across the continent and beyond in an effort to maintain top class global services.
