**Consultavia Limited**, founded in 1995, established a strong reputation in aviation consultancy, specialising in helicopter operations and offshore industries in the early days. Initially led by a former Royal Air Force helicopter test pilot, the company focused on helicopter classification, offshore helideck operations, and expert witness services. Throughout the years, the company has been run by a handful of very talented helicopter pilots. The area of expertise broadened to include overseeing high-profile projects such as the Midlands Air Ambulance re-tendering and helicopter operations for Trinity House. Furthermore, the company worked with the Irish Coast Guard and the Combined Lighthouse Boards and is currently consulting for utility companies and the Scottish Ambulance Service.

Today, **Rikke Carmichael**, a highly experienced helicopter pilot, is leading the company, bringing fresh vision and a focus on expanding into the rapidly growing UAV/drone sector, while maintaining Consultavia’s strong legacy in aviation consultancy.
