APOC, a trading and leasing specialist, has appointed Craig Skilton as Vice President – Components, a new role focusing on increasing market share in Europe and Asia-Pacific, as well as working with the company’s repairs business.
“APOC’s dynamic and entrepreneurial approach towards doing business is refreshing,” said Skilton. “APOC has some incredible foundations which I’m excited to build upon: a recognisable and respected brand, great people, a significant financing facility, and an exponentially expanding inventory of the right products. My immediate objective is to source new assets whilst mentoring, shaping, and growing a high-performing sales team who, when armed with the right inventory, can be market-leading. Key hires that have excellent industry knowledge are already in progress.”
Skilton joins APOC with 10 years of experience at AJW Group as Head of Business Development and in leadership roles surrounding the company’s digital initiatives. He also founded Digital Flight, a technology hub, and worked with SkySelect, an AI-driven procurement platform for aircraft spares.
“The new role of VP Components is of strategic importance as we broaden APOC’s global footprint and deploy secured capital,” commented Gavin Simmonds, APOC CEO. “Craig is a highly respected member of the aviation community with a reputation for team motivation and commercial success, coupled with extensive technology capabilities.”
