Private Jet Services Group (PJS) has secured $10 million in financing from RBS Citizens to continue its torrid growth through the acquisition of top-tier competitors in the Third Party Logistics industry.
The PJS has experienced significant growth in the corporate aviation market. Greg Raiff, CEO of PJS, sees the RBS Citizens investment as further validation of the company’s expansion strategy, both organically and through acquisition.
“We think about our industry differently. Our management team is committed to executing for each client on a day-in, day-out basis, rather than striving to be the largest player in the space. This is a customized-solution business where cookie-cutter approaches have historically proven to fall short,” said Raiff. “The substantial funding by RBS Citizens provides the unique opportunity to work with many companies that do a fantastic job in our industry, and we are looking forward to partnering with them.”
“RBS Citizens and Private Jet Services Group are both companies that understand the value and importance of meeting the needs of their customers,” said Joe Carelli, President of RBS Citizens and Citizens Bank, New Hampshire. “We are pleased to work with PJS to provide a financing package that will help them execute on their growth strategy.”
PJS was founded by Raiff in 2003 with a strategy to build a leader in the aviation industry, one client, at a time, with a focus on personal attention. Today, the consultancy handles more than 1,000 flights a year around the globe.
