Leading the division are Neil Day, a veteran aeronautical mechanical engineer with over 40 years of global aviation experience and Ryan Stewart, Business Development Manager for Aircraft Technical Services. With more than two decades of experience across both widebody and narrowbody aircraft, Ryan brings specialist expertise in advanced composite repair, structural modification and complex maintenance programme delivery. His proven capability in overseeing critical aviation projects reinforces VHR’s reputation for technical precision, compliance and client confidence.
“The formation of VHR Aircraft Technical Services strengthens our ability to deliver turnkey aviation solutions, complementing our established recruitment and project management divisions,” said Danny Brooks, CEO and Founder of VHR. “Our clients across Europe, the Middle East and North America can now benefit from a single source partner who delivers not just people but complete operational performance.”
