Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. recently opened a sales and design center in London, the company's first such facility outside the United States. The nearly 5,500-square-foot center, located in the Mayfair district of central London, gives international customers more convenient access to Gulfstream's sales and design staff.
Gulfstream also has sales and design centers at company headquarters in Savannah and at its facility in Dallas.
"Because of London's stature as one of the world's financial and cultural capitals, many of our customers and potential customers worldwide have business interests there and visit frequently or have a residence in the area,” said Scott Neal, senior vice president, sales and marketing, Gulfstream. “They'll now have a convenient Gulfstream facility in London where they can go through the aircraft selection and cabin-design process easily and efficiently.”
The London sales and design center includes a showroom filled with leather, veneer, fabric and carpet selections along with conference rooms and customer offices.
As in the Savannah and Dallas centers, customers can use Gulfstream's new state-of-the-art visualization software called DesignBook, which displays a highly realistic image of a cabin in real time on a touch-screen monitor or tablet computer screen. The rendering includes cabin configurations, colors, fabrics and furnishings.
The London sales and design center is staffed by sales executives and support personnel, including Trevor Esling, Gulfstream regional senior vice president, international sales for Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
The facility complements other Gulfstream resources in the United Kingdom. Less than an hour away, in Luton, England, is one of the company's three international service centers. The site at London Luton Airport includes a 75,000-square-foot hangar and a 10,000-square-foot parts and materials warehouse. Approximately 190 employees work at the 24-hour-a-day, seven-day-a- week operation.
