Airborne Environmental Consultants Ltd (AEC) proudly announces the appointment of Kellie Naughton as Technical Operations Director and newest member of the AEC Board, effective 1st August 2025. This exciting milestone reflects AEC’s long-standing commitment to championing career progression and investing in its people — the cornerstone of AEC’s business success.

Her career path highlights the opportunities that are open to everyone at AEC with dedication, talent, and the right environment to thrive.
This marks a great personal achievement for Kellie and is also a celebration of AEC’s culture that puts people first. Kellie said:
“I am deeply committed to staff development, believing that the heart of the company lies in its people. My vision is to empower our colleagues through coaching and development, ensuring technical growth is always front and centre.”
Kellie’s expertise is globally recognised—she has delivered training in Dubai and the Philippines, and hosted international delegates from Vietnam, India, Pakistan, South Korea, Singapore, here in the UK.
Her ability to balance technical accuracy with people-first leadership has helped AEC’s training division flourish. Her efforts have contributed not only to business success but also to the retention and growth of a high-performing team.

“Kellie’s appointment to the AEC board is more than a promotion — it’s a clear signal of what’s possible at AEC, an employee-owned company with a people-centric culture. We are proud to nurture careers like Kellie’s across all areas of the business, and we remain committed to providing clear pathways for colleagues to develop and achieve their goals”.
