The WEAF board is seeking a person who is dynamic, knowledgeable about the global, national and regional aerospace agenda, commercially astute with proven business development, proven project management & maintaining relations across industry stakeholders.
WEAF has increased its membership by 50% in the past 4 years, and its influence in the industry and south west region has never been higher – just two of the significant achievements of the current CEO, Simon Young (pictured), who is leaving the organisation for family reasons.
WEAF chair Chris Wilson said: “Under Simon’s leadership, WEAF has gone from strength to strength and he leaves an organisation which is in rude health. We are disappointed to see him leaving, though we fully understand his reasons.
“Now is the time to look to the future, and we welcome applications from anyone with the necessary skills and experience who can drive WEAF onto the next level, and continue to position the South West as the pre-eminent place in the UK for the fast-growing aerospace industry.”
