CEO Michael Caflisch says: “APG has leveraged its leading market position to expand its portfolio of capabilities and optimise delivery of solutions while also continuing to support a culture of technological innovation. We look forward to working with the AFV Partners team to maximise our opportunity for future growth.”

Capital investment company AFV Partners founder, chairman and CEO Tony Aquila was previously an investor and lead board director, alongside Liberty Hall, in APG. He adds: “APG is a growing market leader with a 20 year track record of providing regulator-required performance and safety calculations and will be a foundational asset for our aviation investment vertical. We look forward to working alongside APG's management team to help it leverage our experience, technology and long-term capital.
