West Of England Aerospace Forum

The West of England Aerospace Forum, known as WEAF, is a membership trade organisation for aerospace, defence and advanced manufacturing companies in the South West of England. The site says it has been a central hub for these sectors for over 20 years.

Membership is open to companies from small firms to large global groups. The site says members get access to a network portal, market intelligence, industry experts, events and funding information. Members can also use a member capability search.

The site describes support for growth and innovation. This includes national funding and innovation support, regional business support, skills programmes, catapult centres and the WE-Zero cluster. Companies in Somerset or Dorset can join the Somerset Innovation Network business support programme delivered by WEAF.

The site says WEAF gives its members a voice with regional, national and international decision makers in industry and government. It says the body promotes the UK's largest aerospace and advanced engineering sector.

Events and news are a large part of the site. Recent items include the ADS South West Making a Difference Awards 2026 and the countdown to Farnborough International Airshow 2026. The site also lists a Bristol and Bath cluster meeting.

The site lists its registered address at Salamanca Square in London, under ADS Group Limited. The footer shows the forum is registered in England.
