Caerphilly-based AerFin (www.aerfin.com) has been named as the fastest-growing aerospace and defence company in Europe by the Financial Times — and the 23rd fastest-growing company in Europe overall.

It supports aircraft operators and lessors by providing a range of services, including leasing contracts, technical consulting, trading and the supply of equipment — from entire aircraft to engines and other components.

The firm has seen substantial financial success over the past three years, achieving a Compound Annual Growth
Rate of 234%.

CEO Bob James said: “AerFin has made incredible progress over the last three years, and to receive this recognition from the Financial Times is a tremendous honour.

"We have always focused on staying ahead of the market curve and anticipating the needs of our global customer base. This has given us a competitive advantage leading to exponential growth.

“The success of our new services — such as the Beyond Pool support programme — and the growing rates of employment across our regional and global offices are indicative of how our business is expanding and gaining more momentum internationally.”
