Executive Jet “Customer Gallery” for London

US business aircraft manufacturer Hawker Beechcraft opened a new 'Customer Gallery' at one of London’s most prestigious addresses, Brook Street, Mayfair, adjoining Claridges.  Close by is a major Rolls-Royce car showroom and also Lamborghini.  Potential buyers can come in and spec out their new business jet.

"We've been discussing this idea for a while," said Sean McKeough, Hawker Beechcraft EMEA President, hosting the 'soft launch' social event.  "We will be closer to our customers and are creating a nice environment here to meet with existing clients and potential buyers.  They can come in and enjoy the fine art we plan to hang on the walls too."

In a nod to the Wichita, Kansas-based company’s leading expertise in the use of composite technology on its jets the office space features two curved composite pieces suspended from the ceiling.

Some 50 or so industry guests including NetJets Europe, Ocean Sky, PremiAir, JetBrokers Europe, Manhattan Jet Charter, Forest Aviation and Brooks of Mayfair chauffeurs came out to support and toast the new gallery with champagne and canapés. www.hawkerbeechcraft.com
