Client SEO Executive Manchester

Public reviews depict CAVU Manchester as having a generally positive work environment with a friendly culture, strong hybrid/flexible working options, and clear opportunities for up-skilling amid rapid growth. However, criticisms include micromanagement, tight deadlines, workload pressure, and in some cases pay that lags industry norms. Financial health is viewed as solid, with backing from Manchester Airports Group and MAG’s digital travel business, and reviewers frequently note stable finances. CSR and sustainability are framed within MAG’s broader sustainability initiatives, and CAVU benefits from this corporate backing, with programs like Aerozones and climate initiatives. Overall, Glassdoor ratings hover around 4.5–4.7/5 with about 90–100% of reviewers willing to recommend, though the small sample of reviews means experiences may not fully represent all roles.
