A|D|S appoints new director

A|D|S has announced the appointment of Graham Chisnall as managing director, commercial aerospace and operations.

A|D|S has been seeking a new director to drive the ambitious agenda on behalf of the UK Aerospace industry, now that the merger between SBAC, DMA and APPSS to form A|D|S as the national voice for the industry is complete.

Ian Godden, Chairman of A|D|S, said: “We are delighted to attract a senior industrialist from our industry to drive the ambitions of our large and growing membership in this successful British sector of our economy. Graham's experiences as an engineer, project manager and in various director positions within both BAE Systems and GKN are ideal for the role.

“His challenge will be to support both the success of the companies with major UK operations in this sector who have household names such as Airbus, Rolls-Royce, Bombardier, AgustaWestland, Cobham and Meggitt as well as the less well-known 300 SME members of A|D|S in Aerospace and the wider community of 2,600 SMEs in the UK. This high technology manufacturing and service sector will be critical for Britain's restoration of wealth and jobs in the next five years.”

Chisnall added: “I have always been passionate about the aerospace sector and I am excited at the chance to play a major support role for the leaders of these businesses, large and small, as they battle for global market share in an attractive but competitive world. I am delighted to take on this leadership role in A|D|S and I look forward to the challenges ahead for A|D|S itself, but more importantly for the membership that we represent.”
