World first for Monarch

Monarch Aircraft Engineering, the award-winning independent aircraft maintenance provider has become the world's first engineering/MRO business to be awarded 'WorldHost Recognised Business' status, as part of its commitment to providing outstanding customer service.

More than 350 staff have undertaken the WorldHost customer service training programme which reinforces core service principles and provides specialist customer service guidance. The internationally-recognised programme has a strong track record of helping organisations deliver outstanding customer service results. When London welcomed the world in 2012 all volunteers were WorldHost trained.
