Clint Jones has joined the growing team as a weights engineering expert to support an ongoing programme of work with BAE Systems Air, advising on weight management issues throughout the product lifecycle.

As a former BAE Systems employee, Clint will also work alongside junior engineers to enable the growth of new talent within the sector and within the specialism of weights engineering.

To add to the stress team capability, Macsen Taker has been appointed as a graduate engineer following his graduation in aerospace engineering at the University of Manchester.

Hayley Berry has been appointed as quality and security controller. She formerly worked in the medical manufacturing industry within quality control as a product testing specialist for nine years.

Jerrod Hartley, CEO of Airframe Designs, said: “We’re excited to find such talent to strengthen our business as we grow to meet the demands of the industry. We strive for business excellence in all of our dealings and our people are at the heart of that. The teams working on our specialist components span an age range of five decades with skills in design, analysis, certification and additive manufacturing.”
