Marshall CEO Kathy Jenkins said: “Bob’s experience and expertise is going to be vital as we create a new business winning team that will ensure we capitalise on the breadth of capabilities across our aerospace and defence portfolio both in the UK and internationally.”

Bob joins Marshall during a time of rapid global expansion, with the group having opened a new production facility in Moncton, New Brunswick last year, meanwhile, construction work is underway at Piedmont Triad Airport in North Carolina, where a new MRO operation will open later this year.

Marshall also continues to develop its presence in the Middle East and Northern Europe, leveraging its existing relationships and track record for project delivery.

“We are now primed to capitalise on some fantastic opportunities that are sitting right on our doorstep, as a global team, our objective will be to empower our local colleagues to go out and win them.”
