Significant investment has been made throughout the life of the company to provide the most modern and effective infrastructure. The following serve to highlight a few aspects of the infrastructure which help to provide the foundation for continual excellent customer service.
Maintaining the highest quality standards
We hold our quality systems in the highest regard. From continual training of our Goods In, QA and Despatch departments, fully computerised stocking and picking technology, segregated warehousing and fully trained audit staff, to the latest software certification scanning, we apply rigorous techniques to ensure the highest quality of component as it leaves our facility.
In addition, Executive Jet Support are an ISO 9001:2015 compliant organisation, subject to rigorous annual audits. We are also fully signed up members of the European Aviation Suppliers Organisation (EASO), an industry body dedicated to upholding the highest standards within the aviation industry.

Architect Designed, Highly Engineered
Our 20,000sqft purpose built Head Office is constructed using a unusual but highly efficient award winning panel-based system imported from Australia. The building, cubist in design and incorporating an integral rainwater system, is an exceptionally clean-lined futuristic-looking building, while being well suited to today’s eco-demanding requirements. We have recently added a further 10,000 sq ft of storage warehousing on our site in Chippenham, and are currently developing our off-site 9 acre site (located only minutes away) into further storage facilities.

High-tech 4000 sqft open plan office
Designed for efficient working, our Italian designed office provides the working environment for the staff to collaborate. Multiple break-out areas provide the perfect meeting place, and our fully stocked kitchen keeps the fires going throughout the day. The table-tennis table provides the ideal wind down come the end of the day.
-
Fully computerised QA and shipping area
Zone based areas provide for proper segregation of all incoming, QA audit and outgoing shipments. All tasks are fully integrated into our computer system via the use of barcoding and paperless scan-based procedures.
-
High density component storage coupled with racking for 350 europallets
Headquarters storage capabilities include 12,000sqft of high density component storage and a combined 13,000sqft of Europallet-ready Dexion racking, which together provide ample storage for small components, large-scale material, engines and pallets. Eight 40ft containers provide the perfect bulk storage solution, with space for a further four containers allowing efficient delivery of containers from ongoing package purchases and sales.
-
Further Development
The next stage in logistical expansion is to develop warehousing at the company 10 acre site, located a mile from the head office. This will provide 5 metre-high high density racking suitable for material requiring large scale storage solutions. Planning is granted and construction is planned to start in 2018.

Ideally located to serve businesses worldwide.
Located only one hour from London Heathrow airport and two hours from London Stansted, Luton and Gatwick airports, Executive Jet is excellently placed to deliver shipments to airport freight forwarders and minimise transit time from warehouse to customer. AOG shipments are our speciality.
We have accounts with all the major shipping companies, including but not limited to the companies below, and are happy to ship on our account and bill on our highly discounted rates to customers at cost.
Our 80KW Solar Array
We are a company that takes its environmental responsibilities seriously. Our modern, eco-friendly building has been enhanced with two solar PV arrays, one of 30kW and a second newer array totalling 50KW. This is enough to provide for our needs and export energy back into the grid.
We have recently invested in two company Tesla all-electric cars, which charge (when English sun permits) from our solar arrays.
To try to reduce further the impact of cars on the environment, the company has an active work-from-home policy and will, on any given day, have a number of employees working from their home office.
Finally, we reduce, where possible, all uses of paper in the company (our parts system is almost fully paperless) and recycle paper that is produced into packaging material to protect our components during shipping.

Computer Backbone
Maintenance of a dedicated high specification 200 sqft server room, with space for up to 50 rack-based servers, holds our fully redundant active-active server and storage arrays. Full height server racking, uninterruptable power supplies and fibre optic comms
On-site and off-site NAS-based backup routines ensure the security of our data, including images of our all-important quality related documentation.
-
Fully Interconnected
With over 30km of Cat5e cabling under raised flooring in our head office, internal Gigabit networks and VPN over Fibre that connects the Server Room to our home-offices and outstations, our business is fully interconnected.
-
Cutting edge hardware & software
IBM Intel Xeon-based servers, workstations built around the latest Intel Haswell chipsets and Android smartphones keep us at the forefront of technology.
When it comes to software, our CEO’s previous life as a Windows programmer means the very latest software. XenServer HyperVisor technology, coupled the latest Microsoft Windows Server 2012 OS, allows the provision of a fast and stable environment for our aviation, office and IP telephony software.
Component Control’s Quantum ERP program heads up the aviation software, a product widely respected throughout the aviation world. Quantum enables us to have a fully documented audit trail of every component and associated transaction, as well as allowing for a totally paperless solution for all material certification, quotation, purchase and sales paper trails.

Latest generation VOIP and IM
Through the use of the latest 2015 3CX v14 VOIP based phone system, running on a dedicated VM server, communications both inside the office network and outside via Fibre VPN, WiFi or 4G keep all company employees in constant touch and available to all our customers at all times.
High Level Security
We take security of our premises and component storage very seriously. The main site is protected by full-perimeter 8ft Palisade fencing, covered by infra-red motion detection IP cameras backed up to offsite fully protected storage. Out of hours security patrols monitor the entire area surrounding our site. The addition of biometric security on all access doors and main electronically controlled gate has further enhanced the level of security surrounding our business premises.
IT security is covered by the use of an always on active-active array of servers protected by multiple backup power supplies. We have dual internet gateways, buried under the building and directly connected to the local internet (POP) sites, allowing for fully redundant 40GB capacity internet.
