LCI Appoints Grainger to Lead EMEA Marketing



Lease Corporation International, the aviation division of the Libra Group, appointed Christopher Grainger to the role of vice president, Marketing for the EMEA region. Grainger joins LCI with 30 years’ experience in the civil helicopter industry and was previously vice president of Oil and Gas Sales for Airbus Helicopters.

During his career, Grainger has led worldwide sales, marketing and business development activities for Heli-Union and more recently Airbus Helicopters. He has also held senior management positions at McAlpine Helicopters, EC Canada and EHOC (HeliOffshore). With experience working across all continents, including a large number of developing markets, he has built a wide network of contacts within the helicopter industry.

Reporting to LCI CEO Michael Platt, Grainger’s role will span the company’s helicopter division, which has 90 helicopters (delivered, on order or under management) along with its fixed wing operation.

Crispin Maunder, executive chairman of LCI, said: “Christopher’s calibre and proven industry experience make him a welcome and significant addition to our team. He will play a key role in the growth of our helicopter customer base covering not only oil and gas, but a range of major growth sectors including emergency medical services, offshore wind servicing, utility and search and rescue.”
