2. Securing
the health and future
of Britain’s airpor ts
Wilson James Aviation is a key player in the
aviation sector. As a supplier to a number of airport
operators including BAA, Wilson James is tasked
with delivering integrated Logistics, Security
and Specialist Services to both airside and
landside sites.
Supporting the safe, efficient and responsible
operation and development of the United
Kingdom’s airports requires specialist knowledge
of their dynamics, infrastructure and constraints.
Wilson James has worked in this environment
for over 10 years, at Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted,
Norwich and Edinburgh, earning a reputation for
outstanding team-working, and innovation based
on knowledge.
Comprising a world class team of logistics and
security specialists, Wilson James leads the market
in integrated, bespoke solutions that deliver added
value and sustainable benefits at every step of the
supply chain.
Consultancy
Projects within the aviation environment are characterised by complexity, particularly
regarding space and access. Logistically, they are significantly more challenging than many
other projects. Wilson James provides consultants at the design stage of projects to ensure
all logistic requirements are included in your plan.
Integration
Airports lend themselves to integrated logistic solutions. Operational efficiencies
and economies of scale can be gained in supporting a wide range of construction and
maintenance activities using a single organisation that fully understands the required
security protocols and procedures. Wilson James develops integrated solutions for
airport operators and constructors that smooth the “bumpy road” that typifies so
much airport construction.

3. Logistics
Construction Site Logistics
The specific demands of the aviation environment are
testing for even the most experienced constructors.
Whether Airside or Landside, Wilson James is able to
provide the full range of site logistic services: site
planning, materials and waste movement, delivery
coordination, fire marshals, first aiders, plant, crane
and hoist provision and operation traffic management.
Consolidation Centres
Wilson James introduced the consolidation concept
to the construction industry some 10 years ago.
Using consolidation will reduce your site space
requirements and enable better control of materials
whilst reducing the carbon footprint of your
supply chain. We have several centres supporting
construction activities at major airports.
Temporary Works
Short term temporary works fitted around the airport
operation are a key element of airport construction
and maintenance. From road closures to minor
construction activities, Wilson James will ensure your
time on task is maximised.
Fit Out
Fitting out retail units and passenger areas in live
terminal areas is a complex and potentially dangerous
business. Wilson James has significant experience of
supporting fit out projects ranging from single retail
units to entire terminal buildings.

Security Officers
Wilson James provides aviation security solutions
that range from specific individual posts to whole
airport services incorporating PRM and cargo
requirements. All our aviation security officers,
supervisors and management are trained to the
appropriate Department for Transport aviation security
standard. Where necessary, they also hold relevant SIA
licences. Our officers provide the full range of aviation
specialised roles to secure both the normal airfield
operation and any shorter term projects requiring
specific and evolving solutions .
Screening
As Department for Transport approved aviation
security providers, Wilson James can create
compliant screening solutions to meet any
requirement. Whether for passengers or
construction workers, hold baggage or airside
compliance, Wilson James designs, builds and
operates full facilities with any level
of throughput.

Escorts
Secure environments are always difficult to access
for short term workers without a frequent need
to be on such sites. In these cases, Wilson James
provides escorts to allow work to be carried out
using temporary (escorted) clearances, negating
the requirement for lengthy clearance processes.
Escorts can be vehicle mounted to escort temporary
passed vehicles carrying loads to airside sites.
ID Centre and Passes
Gaining the appropriate pass for
airport work is daunting for anyone
not used to the requirements. Wilson
James operates ID centres for several
aviation clients. In other locations,
we advise and assist with a wide
variety of client needs, ranging from
normal access for individuals and
vehicles, to complex requirements for
major crane lifts and abnormal loads.
This capability is often integrated
with wider logistic tasks.
Training
Wilson James provides aviation training for clients in a number of locations. Training is provided for aviation
qualifications in both security and other fields, for example airside driving. Bespoke courses are
regularly developed to meet specialist requirements .

6. Specialist Services
Airside Movement
Efficiently moving individuals, luggage and goods
in the airside environment requires great skill and
experience. Whether complying with the additional
regulations or coping with the ever changing routes,
airside movement is complex and unforgiving.
Wilson James provides airside movement services
in a wide diversity of situations. We facilitate the
airside movement of VIPs, senior airport executives
and passengers under deportation orders, as well as
baggage, outsized loads and dangerous goods.
Queue Measurement
Airlines, passengers and other airport users
expect airport operators to provide appropriately
rapid access through the necessary security
measures. Often such requirements form elements
of contractual relationships and regulatory
settlements. Wilson James provides data
facilitators and appropriate technology to enable
the independent measurement of queues thereby
removing the common disagreements based on
anecdotal evidence.
Heathrow Accommodation Team
Accommodation
The numbers of contractors, both short and long
term who require temporary accommodation
at airports is often considerable. Wilson James
provides an accommodation booking service that
attracts significant discounts on the full range of
services from bed and breakfast rooms to 4 star
hotels and includes a discounted taxi service.
7. Specialist Services
Fire Marshals
Control of fire safety in the aviation environment is critical.
Wilson James provides fire marshal teams and individuals,
fully conversant with the nature of aviation security and
highly experienced in aviation operations and associated
construction activities.
In addition, the majority of Wilson James’ staff are
cross-trained as fire marshals. This reserve capability
allows us to react very quickly to emergencies and
temporary interruptions of fire prevention systems,
particularly when they occur airside.
Contingency Operational Support
Wilson James has reacted to a plethora of
emergency and contingency situations at airports.
Each time it was our resourcefulness and deep
understanding of conflicting requirements that
allowed us to create innovative, pragmatic and
above all compliant solutions, in very short time
frames until more permanent resolutions could be
developed or repairs completed. From airside fires
and major security incidents, to ice clearance and
swine flu measures, the sheer breadth of Wilson
James activities in the aviation sector permits us
to react very quickly when called upon by our
clients. We pride ourselves on always being able
to come up with a solution.
