Senate Aviation at Bournemouth has been appointed to represent New Piper in the UK, Ireland, the Isle of Man and Spain.
The new company replaces Meridian Aviation which lost the dealership at the end of April.
Senate will be headed up by brothers Christian and Matthew Lawrence. Christian will serve as Managing Director and Matthew as Chairman. Several members of Meridian have moved over to the new company, including Bob Berry, who will be Director of Aircraft Sales, and Stuart Metcalf, who will also be responsible for aircraft sales.
“We’re very proud to be the latest member of the New Piper worldwide dealer network,” said Christian Lawrence. “Our dedicated and experienced team is looking forward to servicing Piper’s existing clients as well as expanding the client base.”
“I am delighted to announce the appointment of Senate Aviation Limited as the new dealership for this territory,” said Chuck Suma, President and CEO of The New Piper Aircraft, Inc. “The United Kingdom and Spain represent important markets for New Piper and our customer base in those countries is large and loyal. Having a dedicated and strong partner in the territory, such as Senate, is critical to new and existing customers alike.”
