Southpac Aerospace Celebrates 20 Years with Gala Event

Southpac Aerospace has celebrated 20 years in business in July 2024

Southpac Aerospace has celebrated 20 years in business with current and former staff, clients and industry partners in aviation.

From humble beginnings to the region’s leading provider of aviation quality and safety training, Southpac Aerospace has celebrated its 20th year with a gala event in Brisbane.

Current and former staff joined with valued clients and industry partners to mark the significant milestone for the family-owned business.

Founded by Richard Bucknell in the early 2000’s, the company started out with one highly regarded course – the Safety & Lead Auditors Course – which has grown from strength to strength in that time. Southpac Aerospace was registered as a company in 2004, and adding more auditor, investigator and systems training to the course list, became a Registered Training Organisation in 2011.

CEO Andy Shone reflected on the growth of the business over the past two decades, with the training organisation now part of the wider Southpac International Group which has seen Southpac’s reputation for quality and safety training and improvement grow across a broad range of industries in addition to aviation.
