Osprey was founded by Jon Arden and Peter Giles on 20.12.2006. Today, the business is one of the leading aviation consultancies in the UK, employs 33 staff across three offices, and is set to celebrate growth of 50% in 2016. That growth has come from the establishment of new capability areas including Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS)/ Drones and Noise Monitoring and Management.
Jon Arden, Founder and Managing Director of Osprey said “We are thrilled to be celebrating our 10th anniversary. I would like to thank our clients, staff and friends for their commitment and support over the past decade. Right from the outset, we have been privileged to work with some of the best clients and industry experts in the business. We have also been fortunate to grow the company with extremely talented people that are passionate about working in the aviation industry, and in delivering top quality solutions for our clients.”
To mark the occasion, Osprey took the entire company and their partners away for an exclusive weekend at Ettington Park Hotel near Stratford-Upon-Avon. Founders Jon Arden and Peter Giles hosted a fabulous dinner, with their anniversary speeches full of anecdotes and memories from the past 10 years.
Looking to the future, Jon Arden said “Going forward Osprey must continue to influence and shape the way the aviation industry is evolving and be right at the forefront of innovation. Most importantly, we want to continue to be a business that people enjoy working for and doing business with.”
