Willis Lease Finance Corporation announced on June 30, 2025, the successful close of its previously reported sale of Bridgend Asset Management Limited (BAML), its consultancy and advisory arm. BAML was sold to Willis Mitsui & Co. Engine Support Limited (WMES), WLFC’s long-standing joint venture with Mitsui & Co., Ltd.
Following the closing, BAML will be officially renamed Willis Mitsui & Co. Asset Management Limited (WAML), reflecting its new position and expanded strategic role within the joint venture structure. This transaction strengthens the WMES platform by integrating technical consultancy and records management services into its operations.
WMES, established in 2011 and headquartered in Dublin, now manages assets totaling approximately $380 million, a figure expected to grow with its enhanced service offerings. WLFC remains a 50% owner of WMES, continuing to leverage its services while focusing on strategic initiatives for its core aviation portfolio.
