Ad Astra was founded by Capt. Kevin Craven. Recognising the limitations of a small consultancy practice that covers a wide range of consulting projects early on, Kevin set about putting together a team of trusted Subject Matter Expert Consultants. Ad Astra now has more than 90 SMEs available to work on projects covering all aspects of aviation.<\/p>\n
Kevin works extensively with Capt Jeremy Baldwin and Stephen Lyons who each bring complimentary skills. Together, Kevin, Jeremy and Stephen comprise the Senior Management Leadership Team of Ad Astra Consulting.<\/p>\n
