Zenith seizes a perfect opportunity at Biggin Hill
Perfect Aviation, having been acquired by Markerstudy Group in September, will continue operations in the UK at Biggin Hill airport, under new name Zenith Aviation.

Perfect Aviation, having been acquired by Markerstudy Group in September, will continue operations in the UK at Biggin Hill airport, under new name Zenith Aviation. The company has added four staff to its 16-strong team, including sales and marketing manager James Welsh.

Welsh comments: “One of the former company's principal customers saw an opportunity to buy Perfect Aviation UK, and one of the stipulations of the purchase was that they had to change the name from Perfect. Zenith Aviation was selected because the new owner already had companies that operated under the brand name of Zenith.”

The company operates its own Learjet 45 and a managed Challenger 605 out of Biggin Hill and Luton, and provides aircraft maintenance and management services. Welsh adds that more acquisitions are in the pipeline: “There have been a couple of management proposals so far and we have several other opportunities to pursue in the new year. We are in the final stages of making operational changes, and anticipate there will be more managed aircraft joining the fleet.”

Stuart Mulholland has taken over as Zenith Aviation md, after Will Curtis was announced as md of Biggin Hill airport. “Stuart has been with the company for quite some time and was the natural choice for the role,” says Welsh. “We now have the right people in place, giving us the opportunity to develop the business further in 2014.”
