CAERDAV CONTINUES TO FLY
Chris Coleman, Managing Director.
It’s been roughly eight months since I took over as MD at Caerdav, and as we approach the winter 2023/24 season, I thought it would be a great time to reflect on what has been a phenomenal first half of the year.
As a business, delivering excellence sits at the core of everything we do, and it’s this commitment to quality that has helped us build the reputation we have today and secure the calibre of customers we now work with.
When I stepped into my new role, we were in the midst of our first winter maintenance programme with Ryanair, which I’m delighted to report was a total success. We have also continued to work closely with GE Aviation as part of the ever-developing engine change agreement we have in place with them, alongside additional work for the likes of TUI Aviation, AVIA AM and Smartlynx.

Our team – both on the hangar floor and at executive level – is also growing. However, as we continue to expand our global reach, we will always need more experienced, passionate and skilled engineers to join us.
Of course, we continue to play our part in building the next generation of aerospace engineers, with our current intake of Apprentices going from strength to strength. I’d like to take this opportunity to publicly congratulate one of our students, Kaleb Szymanski, on receiving a Highly Commended Award at the WorldSkills UK Aircraft Maintenance Competition. Kaleb, and all of our Apprentices, are doing a fantastic job representing Caerdav and I have no doubt they will each have long, fruitful careers in the industry.
Looking forwards, we have selected this year’s intake of Apprentices from a wealth of applicants. It was great to see so many young people excited to work with us, helping to keep South Wales a centre of excellence for aviation – we will be welcoming our new students in September!
Finally, as you may have seen, we have also invested in a new look website for the business. We felt the time was right to reflect on the direction Caerdav is travelling and to fully showcase what we can deliver for our customers, why not take a look for yourselves? www.caerdav.com
Chris, its good to hear about your apprenticeship programme. As an ex aircraft apprentice, I know how this sets young people up with an aviation career for life. All credit to you for investing in the South Wales aerospace industry. Caerdav will reap the benefits for years to come.
