The iHub is home to a range of businesses from the aerospace industry and G&P will use its dedicated office as a foundation to establish and build relationships with surrounding aerospace businesses.
David Whiffin, director of aerospace at G&P, commented: “The opening of our new office is a very exciting chapter, as it demonstrates G&P’s commitment to the aerospace industry.
“Most importantly, it means that our staff are in close proximity to many existing and prospective aerospace clients, allowing us to strengthen ties further and deliver exceptional service.
“The aerospace sector faces many complicated challenges, due to the multi-national and multi-stage distribution and supply chain structure within the industry, which we are helping our clients overcome.”
G&P, whose global headquarters is at Fort Dunlop, Birmingham, is using its 24 years’ quality management experience to support clients across the aerospace supply chain with customer-specific solutions.
Key to G&P’s growth in both the aerospace and automotive sectors is its award-winning Quality Excellence Model, which has helped its customers reduce their levels of waste by more than £1.4bn in 2017.
At the heart of G&P’s Quality Excellence Model is an in-house sophisticated software system called QTrak, which allows real-time analysis and identification of quality issues.
The Model was recognised for its potential when it was awarded the UK’s highest business accolade, The Queen’s Award for Enterprise: Innovation 2016.
Added Whiffin: “Our move to the iHub is a major step forward in helping more aerospace businesses tackle levels of waste and address any quality issues faced in production and the supply chain, due to the increasing demand for aircraft deliveries.”
