As the UK’s Farnborough Aerospace Consortium (FAC) prepared for this year’s Farnborough Airshow, Andrew Barnett, chief technology officer of Barnbook Systems, was named as the new membership chairman for the not-for-profit organization, which includes national and international firms ranging from small companies to prime contractors, along with several aviation research centers. The trade group, which began in 1997, will this year present its largest stand ever in Hall 1 as part of the UK pavilion.
“Farnborough International Airshow is one of the major dates on the FAC’s calendar to champion its members and help them win business in a global marketplace,” said Barnett. “I am looking forward to helping more businesses benefit from membership of the consortium and the success it can bring.”
“We are pleased to welcome Andrew, who will be a valuable asset as we look forward to continuing to help our members and membership to grow and thrive,” noted FAC CEO David Barnes. “As one of Europe’s leading aerospace trade bodies, our success has been built on the strength of our membership.”
Benfits of membership in the group include access to its Supply Chain in the 21st Century (SC21) initiative, global marketing opportunities, attendance at exhibitions at reduced cost, networking and inclusion in the FAC directory.
Meanwhile, Barnett’s Barnbrook Systems (Hall 1, Stand B120) is exhibiting at Farnborough for its 11th successive show. The company, which specializes in safety critical switching and control technologies, is displaying its BlueCube remote condition monitoring system.
