About JJ Churchill

JJ Churchill is a specialist aero-engineering company with over 80 years of experience, demonstrating expertise in new product development, volume manufacture and spares. We are known for excellent Tier 1 supply chain management, working with advanced materials, geometries and technologies.

We enlist the work of talented engineers to produce gas-turbine blades with superlative repeatability for the aerospace and power generation industries. Our headquarters, which are based in the UK, sits on 1.6 hectares with the workshops covering 5,000m2.

Our History

JJ Churchill was founded by Walter Churchill on Christmas Day in 1937. The company was based in Coventry and supplied machined parts, such as exhaust valves for radial aero-engines, to Armstrong-Siddeley.

After being blitzed-out of Coventry in 1941, JJ Churchill relocated to Market Bosworth. Following the loss of Walter Churchill during the Siege of Malta in 1942, the company was taken on by Walter’s wife, Joyce. Having worked closely with Sir Frank Whittle in the 1930s, the transition to gas-turbine work was a natural step, and in the mid-40s, compressor blades became a core product. From 2016 turbine blades have been the company’s principle focus.
