The Board of Directors
Kenneth De Martino – Chairman
Kenneth De Martino started his career with the Thomas Cook Group managing financial services products in Malta and North Africa. Following 15 years of service which gave him the necessary background, training and discipline required he decided to move on and formed the Kdm Group. The KDM companies are involved in Travel, Properties, Resources and Traffic with joint ventures set up in Insurance (Accord Insurance Brokers), Ground Handling (GlobeGround), Security (G4S), IT (DataByte) and Tour Operating (OrangePlus). The biggest challenge was the privatisation and the setting up of Enforcement in Malta which today has been merged into the G4S set up.
