Aviation asset specialist AerFin announced it has move to a brand-new global headquarters in South Wales – marking a significant milestone in the company’s global expansion.
Starting in January 2025, the move reinforces AerFin’s commitment to supporting employment in South Wales while meeting the needs of the aviation industry on a global scale.
The new 116,000 sq. ft. facility at Indurent Park, Newport, has been designed and custom-fitted to enhance operational efficiency, foster collaboration and provide an inspirational environment for both customers and employees. This expansion represents a bold step toward AerFin’s vision of becoming the most trusted partner in the aviation aftermarket.
“Our new headquarters in South Wales marks a significant step in AerFin’s growth journey. It reinforces what our customers, partners, suppliers and investors value about our capabilities to deliver confidently, reliably and progressively for them across a global footprint that includes key facilities in Miami, Singapore, Dublin and London Gatwick,” said AerFin CEO Simon Goodson. “Indurent Park will be a cornerstone of our growth, enabling us to meet the needs of a global customer base while maintaining strong roots in South Wales.”
The new facility will double AerFin’s engine MRO capacity, enabling up to 200 quick-turn shop visits annually. This expansion ensures faster turnarounds and increased capacity to meet the rising demands of the aviation industry.
Equipped with warehouse automation, advanced diagnostics and eco-friendly processes, the headquarters is designed to deliver bespoke engine MRO solutions for airlines, lessors and MROs worldwide. It reflects AerFin’s commitment to innovation, sustainability and staying ahead of the evolving needs of the aviation sector.
A More Inspiring Workplace
The space is purpose-built with employee wellbeing at its heart, reflecting AerFin’s commitment to fostering an inspiring and collaborative work environment. The facility features over 13,600 sq. ft. of contemporary office space, 125 parking spaces — including 20 equipped with EV chargers – and state-of-the-art meeting rooms designed to support seamless teamwork and innovation.
A Sustainable Outlook for Employment in South Wales
As AerFin expands globally, its strong roots in South Wales remain central to its success. The move to Indurent Park will not only reinforce AerFin’s presence in the region but also create new opportunities for local talent and support Newport’s growing reputation as a hub for innovation and enterprise.
The Indurent Park facility boasts a BREEAM Excellent accreditation, ranking it among the top 10 percent of UK buildings for sustainability. Featuring rooftop solar panels, rain water harvesting system, energy-efficient lighting, and construction using sustainable materials, the site reflects AerFin’s deep commitment to delivering net zero carbon operations and greener practices in aviation.
“This move is a game-changer for AerFin,” said AerFin’s chief operational officer, Simon Bayliss. “It’s lighting the way to a prosperous future, allowing us to hit the ground running as we continue our growth in 2025 and beyond. It’s the way ahead for our employees, our customers and the aviation aftermarket.”
AerFin has been supported by building consultancy Cooke & Arkwright and Trefoil Interiors during the development of the new HQ.
Ben Bolton, Director of Business Space for Cooke & Arkwright, said: “We are thrilled to have secured this property for our clients. We were hired to develop Aerfin’s property strategy which included significant business growth and operational efficiency targets. The acquisition reflects the endpoint of a long project, further demonstrating our experience and commitment to providing tailored solutions for clients that align with the evolving needs of many occupiers.”
George Watts, Director of Building Consultancy for Cooke & Arkwright, added: “Being part of the acquisition team allowed us to manage both the practicalities and costs of the move from start to finish. It’s highly rewarding to see the tangible impact of our Project Management. By collaborating closely with various client groups throughout the project, we ensured that all aspects of the business were taken into account, ultimately delivering a unique, modern, functional and sustainable working environment for AerFin.”
Dan Townsend Trefoil Interiors Ltd, said: “We were approached by AerFin to assist them in their site relocation to Indurent Park. Our initial scope was to sit down with all relevant departments from AerFin to fully understand their brief and requirements. From this, we were then able to produce various designs and concepts, coupled with 360 degree CGI walkthroughs to provide full and precise life-like visuals of each proposal. “Once the final designs and costs were agreed upon, we immediately mobilised our site team as the project was under an extremely tight deadline of just 20 weeks. However, through working collaboratively with our supply chain and the AerFin team, we were able to achieve the deadline and deliver what we feel has been one of the most prestigious projects we have been involved in.”
Hannah Bryan-Williams, Development & Leasing Manager at Indurent, said: “We developed Indurent Park Newport to meet the growing regional demand for sustainable, mid- and large-scale industrial spaces that cater to both leading global corporates and local businesses. We’re thrilled to welcome AerFin to the park, a standout Welsh success story and a leader in sustainable aviation solutions. Their presence, alongside other innovative tenants, highlights the ongoing strength and appeal of Indurent Park as a hub for forward-thinking companies.”
