ONE of the region's top aviation figures has moved on from piloting the Southampton-based executive jet charter business Club 328.

Warren Seymour, pictured above, has gone to the Isle of Man to concentrate on activities at regional air services provider EuroManx, for which he is chief executive.

Replacing him as chief executive at Club 328, which was launched last summer by supermodel and first member Jodie Kidd, is Mike Farge.

He is now in charge of Club 328, corporate jet services, and the relationship with business airline Club Airways of Switzerland.

Mike joined the Club 328 group, which employs scores of people locally, last July as chief operating officer.

He started his career with the Westland Group and has held senior positions with aerospace companies BAE Systems and Meggitt, both are which are big employers in Hampshire.Mike, who left Commercial Aerospace Services to join Club 328, will outline his strategy for the company at Club 328's HQ at Hanger 2, Southampton Airport, on April 27.

Club 328 derives from a pricing system where users pay 328,000 euros (£223,500) into a secure account and then use it to pay for the planes plus discounted rates for car and yacht hire across Europe.
