I look forward to working closely with customers and partners to support their evolving needs while helping the company continue to grow its market presence.”
 
Natalie Paul, Vice President of Operations at AmSafe Bridport, said, “We are thrilled to welcome both Benjamin and Lucas to the leadership team. Their fresh perspective, combined with deep business and industry experience, will be instrumental as we continue to develop innovative solutions for our customers and strengthen our position in the market.”
 
The appointments come at a pivotal moment for AmSafe Bridport, as the company continues to expand, invest in new technologies and strengthen its offering to airlines and aircraft manufacturers worldwide.
 
All three executives will attend the Aircraft Interiors Expo (AIX) in Hamburg, where they will join the company’s team as it showcases its latest developments in aircraft cabin innovation.
