An aviation maintenance firm chaired by lead singer of Iron Maiden, Bruce Dickinson, is creating 100 jobs in the Vale of Glamorgan. Caerdav, based at St Athan, is creating new roles on the back of a £4m investment from independent asset manager BOOST&Co.
Founded in 2012, Caerdav provides aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO), consultancy and pilot training services to large carriers, aircraft leasing companies and private clients.
The business, which is owned by Mr Dickinson, will use the funding to expand upon its current record order book and strong new business pipeline - fulfilling the backlog of aircraft servicing requirements carried over from the Covid-19 pandemic.
