Meet the team ...

Gary and Rich work together along with the rest of our general engineering team to ensure that every project that we get involved in runs smoothly,

on-time and feeds seamlessly into our customer's supply chain.

GARY WILSON

TECHNICAL SALES

Gary started his career in the Fleet Air Arm of the Royal Navy as a mechanical engineer. After completing twenty-four years’ of service with the Royal Navy he retired and joined a major, helicopter manufacturer.

One of his roles there was 'Helicopter Customer Service Manager and Program Manager'  servicing civil and VIP export customers.  This role proved varied and challenging managing large budgets and demanding customers.

He then moved into a different role as  a 'Validation Manager '.  developing aircraft tools and equipment utilising 3D printing.

In 2020 Richard Whittington SFM MD, invited Gary to help setup AeroAdditive. Despite starting during the challenging COVID years AeroAdditive was already working with major engineering companies throughout the UK within months of its set up.

Gary is now AeroAdditive's new business contact.

RICH PITMAN

OPERATIONS AND FITTING

On a day to day basis Rich is the person manning the fort at AeroAdditive.

Rich has worked for SFM Technology for over 10 years; he joined the AeroAdditive team early in 2023 due to the increased workload which necessitated a larger dedicated workforce for the department.

A skilled and experienced engineering fitter, Rich has quickly learned the skills necessary to become an invaluable addition to the 3D/Additive Manufacturing team, he has taken over many of the day-to-day tasks previously carried out by John Boydell following his promotion into our Purchasing Department.

Rich's practical skill-set means that all aspects of our 3D manufacturing services are conducted in one location by someone who understands each project and its individual quirks.
