Giles’s move to CHS follows 30 successful years in aviation including various senior roles at Heathrow, he brings to CHS a wealth of experience that will now be accessible to airport operators and suppliers. Regulatory pressures, limited resources and market constraints are all issues that airport operators have to face and Giles believes that CHS is uniquely placed to help.
Giles is very clear, on what attracted him to CHS, commenting: “it’s the reputation for Independence and integrity that the company has; CHS is known for providing best practice engineering services and has a commitment to bringing new cloud based technology and the Internet of Things (IoT) to practical use within the aviation sector.”
CHS is currently helping a number of airports prepare for the introduction of the New Standard 3 Hold Baggage Screening technology and is able to provide a range of services from project inception and design to final implementation, testing and operation. Giles comments “the reality is that most airports do not have the capacity to manage projects of this nature; this is where CHS comes into its own, providing tailored support to meet the specific needs of the client or its suppliers.”
CHS has many years of experience in assisting clients in managing their assets, including the provision of condition monitoring and cost effective computerised maintenance management systems that track asset performance and control life cycle costs. Giles adds, “There is often a huge divide between perception and reality, between expectations and real behaviour; part of our job is to bring transparency into the business of airport development, operations and maintenance”
