Consortiq Brings Drone Expertise To The U.S.

Has Opened An Office In Annapolis, MD 

British-based drone consultant Consortiq has opened a new office in Annapolis, MD. The company says the move allows it to be near Washington D.C, a central East Coast drone innovation hub. This new expansion enables it to work closely with the large client base it has already formed in the U.S. during its first years in operation, such as NBC television, and new and prospective customers in the surrounding East Coast territory.

The drone training, consultancy and drone solution provider will be offering Part 107 tailored training alongside services adapted towards the needs of specific industries. With customized drone solutions available for media and emergency services applications, the esteemed drone company looks forward to leveraging the skills of prospective pilots and others working with drones in America, boosting businesses as well as the wider industry.

“After working in the territory for many years, we’re (announcing) our official American expansion and it marks the start of an exciting time for the company – as interest around drones has increased, so have the demands of our clients and the sector," said Paul Rigby, CEO at Consortiq. "In these early stages we will be focussing our efforts mainly in the East Coast of America, targeting the central area for technology and innovation however, we will quickly be looking to move further afield.”

As a group of former military and civilian, rotary and fixed wing, manned and remote pilots and former air traffic controllers, Consortiq says the team understand the intricacies of operating in the national airspace system. Miriam Hinthorn, U.S. Operations Manager, Martin Lachance, U.S. Chief Instructor and Tim Brown, Course Instructor, will be representing Consortiq as it embarks on its latest business venture.

Leading the U.S. team is retired Major Bryan McKernan, newly appointed as U.S. Director of Operations at Consortiq. With practical skills gained through 20 years of combat deployment in Afghanistan and Iraq acting as Rotary Wing Aviator, alongside his vast experience of working on policy in the Small Unmanned Aerial System (sUAS) world on Marine Corps Installations, retired Marine Corps officer who previously reported to The Pentagon, Bryan, possesses the perfect combination of theoretical knowledge and functional understanding of drones and aviation, the company said.
