Edmiston Breaks into the World of Aviation with Gulfstream Partnership
Luxury yacht brokerage and management company, Edmiston, has announced that it has been appointed by business-jet aircraft manufacturer, Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation, as the authorized International Sales Representative for its UK and Channel Islands business aircraft sales activities. Under this new agreement, Edmiston will promote and support Gulfstream with customers and prospects across the region.
Responsible for designing, developing, manufacturing, marketing, servicing and supporting some of the world's most technologically advanced business-jet aircraft, it is no surprise that Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation has turned to leading yacht brokers Edmiston to support their international sales initiative.
Senior Vice President of Worldwide Sales for Gulfstream, Scott Neal, commented on the new partnership with Edmiston: ‘Michael Swift, Gulfstream’s Division Vice President of Sales for EMEA-ISC, and I look forward to working with Jamie Edmiston and his team to leverage their local expertise as we continue to expand our presence and grow our share in these key markets. Edmiston is well-respected in their industry and was an excellent partner choice given their strong customer relationships and shared focus on sustainability.’
With both companies putting sustainability at the forefront of their activities, the partnership seemed obvious. For Gulfstream, 2020 marked the opening of its LEED-certified 225,000 square foot/20,903 square meter service centre at Farnborough Airport in the UK. Designed with sustainability in mind, the service centre includes rainwater harvesting, hangar radiant heating, intelligent lighting controls, and heat recovery systems.
Additionally, the business-jet aircraft manufacturer has made significant progress towards sustainable aviation, being the first original equipment manufacturer to fly on 100% sustainable aviation fuel, and later manufacturing the first business jet to cross the Atlantic using this fuel.
Jamie Edmiston, Chief Executive of Edmiston added: ‘We have long been known as innovators in both business and marketing, working with leaders in their fields. I am delighted to be partnering with Gulfstream, the industry leader in sustainability, and with the most highly regarded fleet of business jets.’
With offices in London, Monaco, New York, Miami, Newport RI, and a presence at The Edmiston London Heliport and Farnborough Private Airport, Edmiston is a leading name in the luxury yacht industry.
The appointment of Edmiston as Gulfstream's International Sales Representative for the UK and Channel Islands is expected to strengthen Gulfstream's sales network in the region, providing superyacht owners and guests with easy access to Gulfstream's business aircraft portfolio.
