AJW Group has appointed Angus Whiteside to its board as it expands leadership across its aviation supply-chain business. The move brings a rare mix of hands-on technical and commercial experience into the room, with Whiteside progressing from mechanic at AJW Technique in Montreal to Bombardier, then qualifying as a B1 aircraft engineer at Volare Aviation before returning to AJW in 2025.
He has since moved through departments and into Commercial, while also building a profile in motorsport as a former Porsche Carrera Cup GB champion and current GT World Challenge Endurance driver. Chief executive Clyde Buntrock said the appointment reflects Whiteside’s technical depth, commercial understanding and performance focus.
The board now has a director whose career maps directly onto the operational pressures facing the sector.
