A COVENTRY business has celebrated taking on its 100th employee.
Aurrigo International plc’s workforce has more than double since it listed on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) in September 2022.
Neil Holloway is the company’s century man and joins the business as manufacturing manager, responsible for helping scale production and achieving world class quality.
Professor David Keene, CEO and founder of Aurrigo International plc said: “Whilst we are predominantly a technology business, people are still our biggest asset, so to take on our 100th member of the team is a really big moment for us.
“The last twelve months have seen demand increase rapidly for Auto-DollyTug®, our autonomous, electric-powered tug that is set to replace outdated diesel tugs.
“We are currently deploying these vehicles at six airports across the world, as organisations look to reduce costs, increase operational efficiencies, improve safety, and substantially cut their carbon footprint.”
Neil Holloway added: “This is an exciting challenge and perfect for my expertise in taking prototype vehicles into series production.
“I knew immediately that Aurrigo was right for me during the factory tour.
“There is a real family-feel about the company, and it is a great opportunity for me to play a role in technology that has the potential to change the way airports operate going forward. I really wanted to be part of this journey.”
