Gulfstream has named UK-based yacht brokerage and management company Edmiston as its authorized sales representative for the UK and Channel Islands. Edmiston will be responsible for assisting Gulfstream’s customers and potential customers throughout the region.
"Edmiston is well respected in their industry and was an excellent partner choice given their strong customer relationships and shared focus on sustainability,” explained Scott Neal, the airframer’s senior v-p of worldwide sales. “Michael Swift, Gulfstream’s division vice president of sales for EMEA [and the Indian subcontinent], and I look forward to working with Edmiston CEO Jamie Edmiston and his team to leverage their local expertise as we continue to expand our presence and grow our share in these key markets."
Edmiston has offices at the Edmiston London Heliport and at Farnborough Airport. Gulfstream extended its footprint in the UK in 2020 when it opened a LEED-certified 225,000-sq-ft service center at Farnborough. The facility was designed with sustainability features such as rainwater harvesting, radiant hangar heat, intelligent lighting controls, and heat recovery systems. The Savannah, Georgia-based airframer was the first OEM to conduct a flight with sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), as well as the first to fly a business jet across the Atlantic on SAF.
