Management Team

SERA is backed by a strong leadership team with a background in aviation safety management. When we set out to create SERA, it was from a real need as frustrated end users. As a safety and security manager for a large international carrier, Andrew was disappointed with the tools available on the market and saw a need to offer the industry a “custom” aviation specific product. Most other systems available come from a generic workplace health and safety background, or food quality, or other non-aviation related industry. They think that just adding a few aviation forms in their systems it will be OK for us.

Our company philosophy is, and always will be, to offer the aviation safety professional the right tools, at an affordable price. We are probably the only software provider in the world that offers ALL our modules at the one affordable price, and we don’t limit number of users. That’s right, unlimited users! The reason for this is that we are safety professionals first, and software company directors second. Charging for modules and user seats means only the big industry players get access to professional management system tools. We all know the safety budget is tight. So, we have removed the barriers to ownership of a fully featured, full company roll out electronic safety management system.
