What our people say
Charlotte Cheesman
Senior Commercial Manager
Charlotte Cheesman
Senior Commercial Manager
I joined AJW in 2009, just after finishing my A levels! I didn’t know what I wanted to do, but I knew I wanted to grow a career without going to university.
"When I first started, I didn’t even realise that aircraft had parts that needed to be maintained or replaced, just like my car needed an MOT.
I quickly discovered a love for aviation, and with the support of many experienced leaders across the company, I progressed my way from Admin Assistant to Senior Commercial Manager (with a sidestep role in between!).
I’ve had the opportunity to travel extensively and work with many different cultures, which has developed my knowledge of airlines and their operations, as well as teaching me how to adapt my negotiation skills to suit different regions.
I have often been able to extend my work trips into the weekend – a memorable highlight is spending some extra days in Buenos Aries to explore the city and enjoy the steak and wine!
When I got married, I received two additional days’ holiday, which was a special added touch.
Overall, my 18-year-old self couldn’t have asked for a better company to allow me to flourish and grow my career!
