JJ Churchill reorganises to give an 'absolute focus' to aerospace and gas turbine industries

JJ Churchill today announced that it is reorganising to give an absolute focus to the aerospace and gas turbine industries. The company now needs a structure that reflects the different demands of these important industries in order to meet the growth challenges ahead.

The gas-turbine side of the business is becoming more focused on volume blade manufacture and the aerospace side is gearing up for high growth.

Where appropriate, the functions and responsibilities of all employees and departments are being clearly identified "Aero" or "Diesel" teams. Over the coming weeks, as this new structure is deployed, business will continue as usual, meeting strong production targets.

The company is focused on 'sticky niches' - niches which require a high degree of technical and organisational skill. It works in areas which require highly skilled engineering in difficult geometries, difficult dimensions and challenging materials – the type of project where the first reaction is: "That can't be done".

Andrew Churchill, Executive Chairman said, "These changes signal a very exciting, next phase of our development. They will enable JJ Churchill to meet the growth challenges ahead and to give an absolute focus to gas turbines and aerospace. They will enable us to build on our existing strengths while developing new capabilities and greater capacity."
