Salter was the first female fast jet pilot in the Royal Air Force and has built a career in business and advocacy.
After joining the RAF at the age of 18, Salter earned her wings as a jet aircraft pilot in 1992 and rose to the rank of flight lieutenant.
Since then, she has transitioned into the business world, holding leadership positions and making contributions to sectors such as technology and investments.
In addition to her professional accomplishments, she is a passionate advocate for social causes, serving as a Trustee of The Royal Air Force Club and an Ambassador of the Global Angels charity.
Her commitment to empowering women and youth aligns with the values of the BMA and its members.
“We are thrilled to have Jo Salter join us as our expert motivational speaker for this year’s Annual Conference,” said chief executive of the BMA Tom Reynolds.
“Her remarkable journey and dedication to growth and empowerment will undoubtedly inspire our attendees and spark meaningful conversations about the future of our industry.
“Following the success of last year’s conference, we are confident to be delivering another valuable two days of informed sessions and discussions for our members in 2024.”

They belong to The New Classtone and Fusioncollections which interpret marble and natural stone, respectively, and boast Neolith’s antibacterial NeolEAT technology.
Inspired by Ancient Rome, Calacatta Roma (pictured top) pays homage to Italian Carrara marble, with ochre and grey veins in a white background.
While the Cappadocia region, in central Turkey, with its rock formations formed by volcanoes and underground cities, has inspired Cappadocia Sunset (pictured below).

Just like all of Neolith’s surfaces, Calacatta Roma and Cappadocia Sunset are resistant to heat and atmospheric conditions, are 100% recyclable, and do not contain added quartz to their formulation.
