Organisation

See also: Marshall Aerospace and Defence Group

Marshall's history with aerospace dates back to 1912, when its motor mechanics helped repair the engine of a British Army airship, the Beta II, that had landed near the Marshall garage in Cambridge. In 1929, it opened an aerodrome in Cambridge. Its subsidiary, Marshall Aerospace, has provided aircraft maintenance, modification and conversion services since the 1950s. It has the authorisation and experience to work on a range of aircraft including Cessna Citations and Boeing 747s in civil use, and Lockheed C-130 Hercules and Lockheed L-1011 TriStars for the military. Marshall’s relationship with the Lockheed C-130 Hercules dates to the 1960s, when Marshall became the UK Designated company for the RAF C-130 K Hercules, introducing the aircraft to RAF service.

Current Marshall Aerospace clients include the Ministry of Defence (United Kingdom), the US Marine Corps, the Royal Netherlands Air Force, the Norwegian and Danish air forces, the Bangladeshi Air Force, the Kuwait Air Force, and the Cameroon Air Force.

Bedford Cambridge England

After buying AWD Trucks in 1992, Marshall re-named the business to Bedford Cambridge England; General Motors gave them permission to use the Bedford name. This was the company's first entry into the automotive sector. Marshall closed the Dunstable plant and transferred all production in a new factory at Cambridge Airport. Bedford Cambridge produced the AWD TL and AWD TJ; the latter intended only for export to developing countries.

Marshall also produced a variety of special vehicles for the military, and exported the Marshall Bedford TL truck. A military version was also produced as the Bedford MT. Unfortunately, due to failing sales, the Bedford Cambridge subsidiary was laid off, with the last 100 TJ trucks produced in 1998, while the last MT truck was built in 1999. Bedford sold its last truck in 2002 and the Bedford parts operation was sold to ERF. Marshall retained the Bedford name for possible future vehicles. The Bedford name has not been used for a Marshall vehicle since. Marshall Fleet Solutions later took over as the company's main automotive subsidiary.
