Clarendon welcomes Swift Aerospace to the group

This is a development Clarendon believes customers will welcome. The combination of both businesses creates a stronger, more capable group - one that is better positioned to support programmes with an expanded product portfolio, greater inventory depth, value added services (VMI) and an even broader international footprint.

In addition to its existing locations, bringing Swift under the Clarendon name will offer greater opportunities to existing customers by expanding sales capacity across Clarendon's locations. A spokesperson for the company said: "We are confident that as the integration concludes, customers will quickly recognise the practical benefits of a larger, more integrated group - whilst continuing to receive the same exceptional standard of customer service and support.

"We are excited about the opportunities this next stage of growth presents and look forward to putting our combined resources to work to help you and your programmes operate at their maximum potential."
