Introduction

Founded

Established in 1997 by Managing Director, Fred Gorrie, Inter-Tec Aero Group started as a privately owned one-person consultancy, Inter-Tec Services Ltd, located in a small office space in Kilmarnock. In the early years Inter-Tec specialised in the provision of stress analysis consultancy services to a number of UK based customers including aircraft and equipment OEM’s and Tier suppliers. Following a period of steady growth, expanding our customer base to Western Europe, this increase in experience, and resultant demand for the skills and service offering of Inter-Tec, prompted the need for the expansion in both the team size and scope of capability and capacity.
