Security firm sets up aviation division with plans to recruit 200 dedicated airport staff
A North West security firm has launched a specialist aviation division, with plans to recruit up to 200 staff.
CDX Security, based at Birchwood One Business Park in Warrington, has formed CDX Aviation, further expanding its portfolio within the UK airport sector
The launch of the new division coincides with a group-wide rebrand for the firm to CDX Security Group, and is in response to soaring demand for airport security services following the pandemic.
Many airports released their security workforces when much of the travel industry ground to a halt, and have since struggled to recruit replacements.
Manchester Airport, in particular, has suffered long delays at check-in due to a shortage of approved staff.
The new division will assume responsibility for all essential airport security services, providing clearance-ready officers with all CTA and CAA screening paperwork prepared and completed in advance across a range of services including queue management, security ambassadors, airside and landside security officers, and customer service representatives.
Operations director, Elliot Roddy, said: “We’re already experienced in providing exemplary security services to regional airports and with the current demand, it made sense for us to continue to focus on, and grow our portfolio in this area through our new division, CDX Aviation.
“With a dedicated and specialist team we’re certain this new division will really make a difference to aviation security services.”
Christian Roddy, commercial director at CDX Security Group, said: “Rebranding to become CDX Security Group marks a pivotal and exciting moment in our firm’s history.
“CDX Aviation is our first step in making our new strategy a reality and we have more big plans in the pipeline to further expand our service offering and provide our security services in new sectors”.
CDX Security Group was founded in 2017 and provides premium concierge services, facilities management and security solutions to large scale businesses, distribution centres, aviation, and the retail sector throughout the UK.
The group recently scored among the top five per cent of UK security firms, following a successful audit from the Security Industry Authority.
