About us
In 2016 CEO Afonso Faria founded AFF Windservices. As the market changed and the need demanded to move into becoming independent supplier, allowing thus to supply services as needed and where needed.
Maintaining the activities in the indusrty, CEO Afonso Faria continued to supply the services of installaiton supervisor. Where his knowledge and experience continued to grow.
2018 – moving into site management, AFF Windservices path to growth was set in motion.
During the period of 2018 till 2021, AFF Windservices kept working with the same structure.
In 2019 a team has been created to support installation services within UK and other European installation projects. Even though this team was succesful and actively participating in the growth, CEO decided that it would not be maintained in operation during the covid-19 period.
Coming out off 2020, into 2021, steps have been taken to become more independente, securing contracts directly to the main supplier, moving away for being a 3rd party services supplier.
2021 the site management department started to take shape and grow. From 2 site manager within renewable wind industry, into 8 site managers in current year of 2024.
During this growth, AFF windservices has been able to secure what the company stands for; quality over quantity.
A service that is supplied towards the quality, the commitement and the ownership that is needed by those that hold a leading position.
Currently still growing and expanding into other services, such as; main component Exchange, retorfit works, supervisor, scheduled maintenance and expertise consultation.
