JMC Group, a trusted provider of aviation manpower and engineering services, has appointed Ian Thompson within its business development team. Ian will also support JMC sister company ELMS Aviation, the cloud-based risk management competence and compliance specialist, in its drive to attract new customers.

He established The Aviation Network Group in 2019, facilitating collaboration and knowledge-sharing among its senior aerospace management membership. Its well-attended networking events attract principal MRO and air finance sponsors.
