East Lancashire has a stronger aerospace supply chain than most people realise. BAE Systems at Samlesbury anchors a wider network of Tier 2 and Tier 3 component manufacturers, precision engineering firms and MRO operations across the region.
Aerospace supply chain electrical work isn’t categorically different from precision engineering — but the paperwork bar is meaningfully higher. AS9100, Nadcap, ISO 9001, customer-specific approvals (BAE, Airbus, Rolls-Royce supplier requirements) all add documentation overheads to even routine electrical work.
We work with several Tier 2 and Tier 3 suppliers across East Lancashire and the supply chain that BAE Samlesbury and the wider Lancashire aerospace cluster supports. The work itself is recognisable industrial electrical — CNC supplies, three-phase installs, machine power, EICRs, planned maintenance. The wrap-around is more rigorous: documented procedures, audit-traceable records, calibration-traceable test equipment.
We’ve built our maintenance offering specifically to suit the aerospace supply chain’s compliance needs. Asset registers updated quarterly. Test equipment calibration traceable to UKAS. EICR documentation filed in a format that satisfies AS9100 audit. The paperwork is the differentiator — and the bit most general electrical contractors don’t do well enough for this sector.
