Manufacturer moves to new 30,000 sq ft HQ

CFS Aero has moved premises to a new facility on Wedgnock Industrial Estate in Warwick.

Located on Harris Road, the new 30,000 sq ft premises includes factory and office space, as well as an additional 10,000 sq ft mezzanine which will see the compant repair and overhaul over 100 turbine aero engines each year.

Since buying the business in 2012, managing director, David Newhouse, chairman, Jon Freedman and technical director and accountable manager, John Rowley have grown the business from annual sales of under £1m and a staff of eight, to a turnover of more than £10m and a workforce of 40 people.

Newhouse said: “We are delighted to move into this new facility and mark another exciting milestone in CFS Aero’s history. As business within the international aerospace sector continues to go from strength-to-strength, we hope to realise our ambitions to grow an additional 20% of revenue year-on-year, something which will be possible in our new premises.

“To achieve this, we have some exciting plans in the pipeline, including introducing a revolutionary new high-tech computerised system to rebalance engine repairs and overhauls which will, in flight, minimise engine vibration, running temperature and at the same time maximise fuel efficiency. In addition, we are developing new applications for the 915is ROTAX engine including a military trainer and surveillance drone.

“We’d like to say a huge thank you to our team, suppliers, partners and clients for their continued support on this journey.”
