Three UK business aviation companies recently took part in the Aviation Polo Challenge at Hurtwood Park Polo Country Club in Surrey. The round-robin tournament featured three pro-am matches between charter operator London Executive Aviation (LEA), airport and airline operator Stobart Group and FBO network Signature Flight Support.

LEA triumphed at this year's event, which raised more than £5,000 for youth charity The Prince's Trust and was attended by one of the trust's ambassadors Helene Speight, a finalist in television series The Apprentice.

LEA md George Galanopoulos says: “We are delighted to have won. The teams from Stobart and Signature played fantastically well and we are really grateful for their continued support of this fine event, which brings together great sporting action, entertainment and wonderful company from the business aviation community. “We would also like to thank the event sponsor Bombardier Business Aircraft and all our guests who spurred on the teams and made the day so enjoyable and worthwhile.”

The winner's trophy was presented by Marc Ghaly, sales director of Bombardier Business Aircraft, and the polo matches were followed by an Argentinean Asado barbecue and live music in the evening.
