Arrowsmith Engineering and TGM, both part of the £43 million Aero Services Global Group (AS.G), were given the SC21 Silver and SC21 Bronze awards respectively for their ongoing ability to manufacture complex components to customers supplying some of the world’s largest aircraft manufacturers and primes.

The awards, given at this week’s virtual Farnborough Airshow, are a critical performance indicator for the sector and has helped the two manufacturers secure over £3.5 million of new contracts during the last 12 months.

Jason Aldridge, managing director of specialist Arrowsmith Engineering, commented: “This is a great moment for our business as it marks four years of us performing to SC21 Silver standards – one of the few companies in the world to achieve this.

“Over the last 12 months, and despite all of the economic shocks and turmoil of Covid-19, we have still managed to record 99.5% right first time quality and 97.55% delivery on-time and these are parts for aerospace engines and braking systems for the likes of Rolls-Royce, GKN, ITP, Incora and Meggitt.”

Sarah Stephens, managing director of TGM in Preston, added: “It’s great to play a small role in the first ever virtual Farnborough International Airshow and a massive lift for our staff to be recognised for our SC21 Bronze Award for the third consecutive year.

“We specialise in long-bed CNC machining and, traditionally, have supplied into tier 1 customers in aerospace and increasingly defence. Working towards these globally recognised standards helps open doors and gives us confidence to aggressively push our strategy of moving up the supply chain and actively securing work with the primes.”

AS.G has made a commitment that all of its companies will work towards some form of SC21 involvement and this decision will immediately see the recently acquired AMF Precision Engineering start the journey and German-based Ludolph target the SC21 Operational Excellence Award.

Phoenix CNC, renowned for its aircraft on the ground and speed shop support, will join Arrowsmith Engineering on the SC21 Competitiveness and Growth programme, the ADS-backed intensive booster programme.
