Aerocare Aviation Services has made a "significant" investment in its Chester, UK-based MRO facilities, expanding its capabilities and workshop space. This will support the company’s continued growth in the business jet market and its planned diversification into commercial aviation. 
The investment will boost the Part 145 provider’s core MRO and paint shop facilities with new C-rating workshop space and tooling. The added capabilities will allow the business to deliver complete cabin refurbishments, component structural repairs, and manufacturing from its hangars at Chester Hawarden Airport.
“Having recently invested in widening our hangar doors to accommodate larger aircraft, the next logical step was to extend our in-house back-shop capabilities to provide a genuine one-stop-shop service to customers,” said Aerocare managing director Peter Mankelow.
According to Aerocare, the investment will allow it to attract and maintain a wider client base, as the new C ratings cover interiors, structures, doors and hatches, flying controls, and Part 21 subpart G approval for the production of components and systems. 
The company also will be highlighting its increased capabilities next week at the Air Charter Expo at London Biggin Hill Airport.
