August 2001 – New Board appointments

As part of a strategic plan MB Aerospace has announced two new appointments to its’ Board of Directors. Both Craig Gallagher and Callum Gough have joined the company from within the MB Group.

Callum has taken up the post of Operations Director with the intention to utilise his manufacturing and process planning experience to further enhance the integration of our recent acquisitions into our new trading style. Callum joins the company from MB Plastics and will be based at MB Aerospace’s Burnley plant (Formerly TRW Lucas) where the company machines precision components and assemblies for civil and military aircraft, helicopter, Aero and industrial gas turbine engine and defence clients.

Craig has taken up the post of Commercial and Programme Director. This will allow the company to draw on his experience of supply chain management and customer service achieved in the distribution sector with MB Engineering Services. It is intended to create a more ‘customer focused’ approach to Aerospace industry programmes. These programmes require significant planning, can stretch several years and require continual emphasis on improving processes, techniques and utilising common resources. Craig will be based at the company’s new purpose built plant at Motherwell that caters for manufacture of both Aero Engine and Aero Structure components.
