Barnbrook attended its 13th consecutive airshow this year where we stood next to the Farnborough Aerospace Consortium (FAC) hub.

Among the guests visiting our stand was Dr Julian Lewis MP for the New Forest East, chairman of the Intelligence and Security Committee at the Houses of Parliament.

Barnbrook’s cutting-edge new products unveiled at the event included alarm sub-systems, timer modules, current sensing contactors for upgraded and new aircraft and 200-amp contactors for power systems.

Vic Gunasekaran, Barnbrook Systems engineering manager, said: “There’s been a brilliant atmosphere and everyone has been excited to be back. We’ve welcomed visitors from around the world to our stand to enquire about our products for aerospace, including our new ranges which we have launched at the show.

“The airshow is highlight of our calendar and so important to give us exposure to large companies as well as smaller firms within the supply chain. We consider Farnborough to be our home show and are looking forward to the next one.”

When Maggie Goulding first started work at Barnbrook Systems in June 1985, Ronald Reagan was American president, Manchester United were FA Cup winners and the Sinclair C5 had hit the road. Now Maggie, 65, who lives in Titchfield with husband Graham, is set to retire having seen the manufacturing firm grow over the years. Tony Barnett, managing director, said: ‘she has made a major contribution to the success of Barnbrook Systems over many years and will be much missed as a friend and colleague’.
