Acro Aircraft Seating has appointed Andy Jones as Technical Director, with immediate effect. Latterly Head of New Product Development at Acro, Jones has been with the organisation since 2016 when he took up the post of Engineering Manager, bringing extensive design and development experience gained within aircraft seating as well as the automotive and industrial equipment sectors.
Within Acro, Jones has brought his expertise to bear on projects across Economy, Premium Economy and Business Class, successfully delivering complex customer programmes, including high-levels of customisation and collaboration with airline product and operational teams. In particular he redefined and further streamlined the company’s new product introduction process, shortening time to market and supporting Acro’s well known agility within the increasingly fast-moving global market.
