Aircraft Engineer Testimonial​

"I have had a truly wonderful time working with Rishworth. They have been incredibly supportive and professional throughout my contract, and they have always been there to assist me with anything I require.

Abebe, B1 Engineer (B777), Air Peace

Naik, Licensed Aircraft Maintenance Engineer, Australia 

"Andrew at Rishworth Aviation was truly a pleasure to work with from the moment he reached out to me. I was in the market for a new position in a gas turbine engine workshop and it was Andrew's lightning-fast responses and friendly demeanour which had my immediate attention.

He never left me wondering what was happening next." P. Rose, Aircraft Maintenance Engineer, Pacific Turbine
