Chairman

As Chairman of AJW Group, Christopher is responsible for the strategic direction of the AJW Group.

AJW is recognised globally as the world-leading independent specialist in supplying integrated aircraft support services for commercial and business aircraft. However, the Group's ambition and pioneering spirit do not stop there as it looks beyond aviation to seize opportunities that play to the business's strengths.


A lifelong aviation business professional and entrepreneur, Christopher is committed to developing engineering excellence throughout the aviation MRO industry. With a passion for travel, culture and timepieces, Christopher has lived on three continents and has a truly global business perspective.
