British International Helicopters
British International has a long-standing relationship with the Ministry of Defence providing helicopter support to the Falkland Island Garrison and Flag Officer Sea Training and Joint Maritime Courses in Plymouth and off the west coast of Scotland.
British International undertakes its own maintenance and has also diversified into providing third party helicopter and fixed wing maintenance services and training. It is certified to BS EN ISO 9001:2000 by the British Standards Institute and holds a JAR145 maintenance approval.
In 2006 British International completed a secondary management buy out financed by a syndicate of investors led by Matrix Private Equity Partners, with the backing of Finance Cornwall and Chrysalis Venture Capital Trust and more recently the support of the Bank of Ireland. Managing Director, Tony Jones, and Deputy Managing Director, Peter Sorby, have been with the Company since its formation. They have been joined on the Board by Chairman, Peter Shawyer, who is a former Managing Partner of Deloittes in the UK, and Mike Walker, Portfolio Director of Matrix.
The Company's headquarters are in Sherborne, Dorset and it currently employs approximately 160 staff.
