Oxford Aviation to hire 20
Oxford Aviation officials said the company is planning to hire another 20 people in the next two months in addition to eight recently added to the company's ranks.
The addition of the long-term positions is in response to an increased workload for aircraft repair, according to the Sun Journal. Diana Allen, who handles new project development, told the paper the uptick in business is related to the economic recovery, which has allowed past clients to now afford to fix up their planes. The company has about 45 employees.
In March 2010, Oxford Aviation laid off 23 employees, a move President Jim Horowitz blamed on Oxford County, which owns the building in which the company operates. Horowitz said county commissioners failed to deliver a $100,000 payment for building repairs, leading him to cut staff, but county commissioners said Oxford Aviation provided no assurance the money would be used for repair work, violating a previous settlement agreement. In August 2010, an arbitrator required the county to release the funds for repair work and for Oxford Aviation to start work immediately.
