MEAC appoints Ewing as chairman

The MEAC was launched at this year’s Dubai Air Show, and offers products, services, training and expertise to companies wishing to do business in the rapidly growing Middle East Aerospace market through networking, collaboration and mutual trade.

Ewing has worked in the aerospace and advanced technology industry for over 30 years, starting his career at Westland Aircraft where he was responsible for setting up the Commercial Group to market helicopter and technology products throughout North America, South America, Europe and West Africa.  This was followed by work on some of Europe’s largest projects, ranging from developing helicopter route networks for the Olympics to programme management of the building of the next generation of nuclear submarines.

In 1999, Alan was made head of Bloomfield Corporate, a £250 million technology investment group.  Alan sits on the Board of a number of investment and innovation groups including a number of EU Think Tanks, Oracles Innovation Group and the European ERP Group, as well as being an honorary member of The D Group, which includes approximately 200 of the UKs top CEOs.  Alan was the founder of The European Applications Company SA which has multinational clients throughout Europe.
Aside from being Chairman of the MEAC, Alan is also currently the CEO of FutureEurope, a high level networking and lobbying group that assists the development of both small and large commercial organisations in all sectors of the economy.

Ewing said, ““I am honoured and excited at being made chairman of the MEAC, which will become the leading global consortium for aerospace companies and individuals conducting business throughout the Middle East.  By linking the MEAC with companies of all sizes from various sectors we will achieve a truly global reach of members.”
