Pegasus Helicopter Group PLC has announced plans to base its UK management headquarters at Tamar Science Park in Plymouth, Devon. Pegasus is an international company that is developing revolutionary two- and five-seat helicopters, employing a unique pressure jet technology which negates the need for a tail and tail rotor. Pegasus intends to market and sell its Pegasus Helicopter to the civilian and military markets worldwide.

Bob Zummo, CEO of Pegasus, said: ‘Our new Operations Center on Tamar Science Park will serve as an international meeting ground for staff, customers and distributors. This location was strategically chosen to provide our internal and external counterparts a common base.’

The UK headquarters will be headed by Pegasus chairman and non-executive director Chris McDonald-Drewitt, a former British Master Mariner and maritime studies graduate of Plymouth University with over 30 years’ experience in international shipping, the defence industry and business development.

Bob added: ‘Chris has been an integral part in the fundraising process at Pegasus. He has 30 years’ experience running various operations in the United Kingdom and globally and we are confident he’ll deliver our plans.’

Nina Sarlaka, Operations Director of the Science Park, said: ‘We are delighted to welcome such an innovative and technology driven company. Pegasus operates in the high-end advanced engineering sector and the plans they have are set to revolutionise the flying industry.’

Tamar Science Park, with Plymouth University and Plymouth City Council, is a founder of the Growth, Acceleration and Investment Network (GAIN), which exists to accelerate growth and investment in high quality businesses and ideas to create wealth and jobs in the South West Peninsula.

Nina added: ‘We’ll be ensuring that Pegasus is plugged into the GAIN network so that we can support their growth aspirations and hopefully attract more of their activity to the region.’
