Embracing innovation and technology will help drive forward the change that is necessary across the aerospace industry. Finding the right talent to steer that change is also crucial. Garry Sellick, additive manufacturing manager at Airframe Designs, said: "We have further invested in technology to improve the quality of our processes and standards through a sophisticated moisture analyser.

"This will help the company to meet the highest material specifications in the aerospace industry and raise the bar in this specific area of expertise.

"This next-generation technology is just part of our commitment to achieving engineering excellence with our customers and partners. Alongside that, we are nurturing young talent to help us steer this technology forward. Without capable hands with the right skills, the technology would be just more machinery.

"Our young apprentices, working cheek-by-jowl with experienced engineers, are delivering new levels of engineering solutions for mechanical structures, with a strong emphasis on new design, modifications, repairs and reverse engineering, as well as providing advanced additive manufacturing services.

"The mix of technology with talent is a powerful combination which we put together every day. The commitment to developing that talent has never been in doubt and remains at the forefront of our expansion.

"Innovation with imagination is required to propel the aerospace industry forward as it addresses new challenges for the future. The issues of sustainability, circularity, Net Zero and upskilling are major issues across the industry. At Airframe Designs, we are pushing the boundaries with the very latest in technology, driven by our people. This is the Airframe Designs way.

"We are always on the lookout for individuals with the right experience and relevant skills and we invite them to apply to join our team."
