Matthew Proctor, co-owner of the aircraft, said: “With an aim of having aircraft that will be popular in the short to medium range charter market, Avery was interested in adding a corporate jet into their existing helicopter charter business for some time.
“We first worked with Paragon when we were looking for finance on a helicopter purchase. Paragon was able to structure that funding in line with our requirements.”
John Strowbridge, principal owner of Avery Charter Services, added: “Alison and her team always provided prompt feedback and outline terms on lending requests and, importantly, honoured those lending terms as the transaction progressed to completion.
“They have also been very proactive engaging with all parties on the transactions to assist in getting the deal to a successful completion.
“Our dealings with Paragon were proactive, reliable and professional.”
