Steve Skerrett, formerly Quality Director with Collins Aerospace, has been appointed to the role of Director of Quality at Acro, further strengthening the senior team at the global aircraft seating company following its move last year to all-new headquarters at Crick in Northamptonshire.
As Quality Director, Skerrett will champion and lead the company wide Acro quality drive in the delivery of business objectives, playing a critical role in driving positive and sustainable cultural change centred on quality, integrity, compliance and customer service excellence.
A professional Chartered Engineer, he launched his career as Head of Quality Assurance with a prominent aircraft seating company, followed by high-profile roles as Quality Director with Goodrich, UTC Aerospace and, most recently, Collins Aerospace.
Skerrett has a proven track record in successfully developing and delivering business management systems and product quality improvement in both the automotive and aerospace industries. By establishing standard processes and persistently reducing variation he has delivered cost reductions and efficiency gains leading to significant reductions in operational and supplier defects. His focus will be on leading and coaching his Acro team to become subject matter experts in critical quality techniques, bringing extensive benefits to operational and business performance.
