Vector Aerospace Component Services Almondbank has been presented with a 2008 Boeing Performance Excellence Award. The Boeing Company issues the award annually to recognise suppliers who have achieved superior performance. The Almondbank operation maintained a Gold performance composite rating for each month of the 12-month period from October 1st 2007 to September 30th 2008. The award was presented at the Almondbank site on 11th June 2009 by Jim O’Neill, VP and GM of Boeing’s Integrated Logistics, Global Services and Support business.

In total, Boeing recognised 411 suppliers who achieved either a Gold or Silver level Boeing Performance Excellence Award, with 86 Gold awards being made to businesses within Boeing’s overall supplier base of some 10,000 companies.
Vector Aerospace Chief Executive, Declan O’Shea, said, “It is a great honour to be recognised by Boeing as one of their gold standard suppliers and is a reflection of the exceptional standard of customer service that is provided by our Component Services business at Almondbank."
