Cambs Compressors has secured one of its highest-value service contracts to date — a three-year agreement to maintain the compressed air system at Marshall Aerospace’s Cambridge site.
Marshall Aerospace is a leading UK aerospace and defence company, providing specialist engineering, maintenance and support services for military, commercial and business aircraft operators worldwide. Its Cambridge operations play a vital role in delivering safety-critical projects for governments, defence organisations and airlines.
Under the new contract, Cambs will provide preventative and corrective maintenance, ensuring system reliability and full compliance with Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) traceability requirements. This includes implementing digital job bags and giving Marshall Aerospace instant access to historic and real-time performance reports — a crucial factor in operational and regulatory oversight.
Duncan Watts, Maintenance Manager – Facilities at Marshall Aerospace, said:
“Having worked at Marshall for most of my career, I’ve seen Cambs’ quality, responsiveness and track record across the group. In the tender process, they proved their ability to deliver cost efficiencies and meet stringent CAA requirements. Their systems give us complete visibility over our compressed air infrastructure. We chose Cambs because we trust them to deliver.”
This win further strengthens the long-standing partnership between the two companies.
