A CAM business has been approached by The Red Arrows for the second time to support and supply the aerobatic team.
The managing director of AJW Solutions (UK) Ltd, Andy Western, was visited by the group to discuss the business and talk about maintenance of his products.
The business’ main unit, based in Tewkesbury, has supplied the Red Arrows with storage solutions for RAF Scampton over the past two years.
AJW Solutions’ name and logo will be marked on the covers and boxes used by the Red Arrows.
Mr Western said: “You don’t often get the opportunity to see your work like that. I’m proud I’ve achieved this and hope it will also help get business in the local area.
“They’ve offered for me to take people up to see it finished. It would be an experience to go.”
The Red Arrows team is made up of pilots flying Hawk jets, engineers and support staff. Mr Western’s business was selected to supply them with towable storage solutions (to help reduce the size of storage at shows or on the airfield) and weather protection covers.
The business hopes to continue to support the Red Arrows and is now awaiting final decisions on the arrangement.
The Red Arrows are the public face of the Royal Air Force service and will be celebrating their 50th display season this year.
