Somerville says: “Since the beginning the company in 2009, there have been a couple of difficult years but now the business is getting better.”
The company has expanded recently and has moved in the last month into a new Mayfair office in London.
Somerville adds: “There were challenges in 2013 but with the company being appointed as an exclusive agent for the Avanti EVO, this year has been incredable. Connectjets is is really pleased to have been appointed as the exclusive agent for the EVO.”
Because of the increase in business and the Piaggio announcement, Connectjets is expanding, creating jobs and increasing staff for both the charter brokerage and the Piaggio Aero sales businesses.
