Ashton Aerospace & Defence Ltd part of The Ashton Group is delighted to announce that we have been awarded the international Aerospace quality standard AS9120.

AS9120 certification is applicable to stockists and distributors within the Aerospace supply chain and focuses on improving product delivery while maintaining conformance to standard specifications.   Increased traceability and control of records to mitigate, manage and reduce the risk of damage to aerospace products and commodities are also key components, allowing an organisation to identify risks before they become issues.

With experience throughout The Ashton Group of supplying the Aerospace sector the desire to obtain AS9120 has been driven by customer demand and by our commitment to continually improve our systems and procedures.

Managing Director Zoe Fearnley commented “Our sister company Ashton Seals has held the ISO 9001 certification for over 25 years but the additional specific Aerospace requirements for AS9120 above this has served to further strengthen the relationships with our customers, and suppliers.  As an organisation we pride ourselves on our strong right-first-time attitude and we believe that the award of AS9120 certification allows us to ensure that the needs and expectations of our customers are continually met and in many instances exceeded.”   

Over the last five years The Ashton Group has made significant year on year investments in our technology and infrastructure which has assisted in us becoming a trusted partner to ever more customers in the Aerospace and Defence sectors.  With a dedicated team focused on Engineered solutions to suit the high demands of our customer applications along with outstanding technical support, customer service and our AS9120 certification we look forward to further enhancing our presence in the future.
