Creed rises for Phoenix job

Mike Creed has left Action Aviation to join Project Phoenix as vice president sales.  Mike has 40 years’ experience  with the industry and will be spearheading Project Phoenix drive to enter new territories later this year with new ventures that will complement its now established Phoenix CRJ line.
 
Mike started out as operations manager at Fairoaks Airport in Surrey in 1969, where he learned to fly. He joined the Alan Mann Group (fixed wing operations) as sales and marketing manager, before becoming an independent aircraft broker in 1981.  He was sales director at Sloane Helicopters, prior to serving as managing director of Patriot Aviation.  He joined Harrods Aviation as aircraft sales director before leaving to become managing director of Action Aviation in November 2005. 
 
“Having believed wholeheartedly in the Project Phoenix offering and actually helped draw up the business plan with Mike Cappuccitti three years ago I am delighted to be inhouse working with such a professional team,” he said.  “Despite the economic gloom, we are seeing a lot of interest in the Phoenix CRJ, especially in the Middle East where the market is becoming increasingly cost conscious.”
