“Chapman Freeborn has a culture that prioritises ability and performance over individual characteristics,” said Laura Smith, Senior UK HR Business Partner, Chapman Freeborn.

“We are working towards an even split of men and women, in contrast to the wider aviation industry where the balance is as disparate as 80-20, men to women.

“There is clearly still much more work to do, but at Chapman Freeborn we will continue bolstering and celebrating our colleagues, regardless of their gender identity.”
