Makes sense if Premiair are folding. They're clearly not going to use Harrods.
Re: Rainbow, I can only guess that its gone to the same place as the London air ambulance.

Still sad
Almost one month since my last comment. Now I read '25' ish staff remaining. How can a business descend so rapidly? Where's the leadership? There must be some anger around the patch in various quarters, but I can't help thinking its such a sad end to something that was so good.
It is indeed sad but .. as was said many moons ago .. the writing was on the wall:

As mentioned on another thread where this was initially reported, the writing was on the wall for a number of City financiers familiar with Davies' operations.
By all counts PremiAir's operations are, on the whole, commendable - even admirable, and Heli01's 'face-saving' comments in their support (via the information of his 'contact') are therefore understandable.
To suggest however that the collapse of PremiAir's sister company will have zero impact on their operations either now or in the future is perhaps optimistic. My understanding was that Von Essen hotels part-funded the initial acquisition of PremiAir?
We shall see what transpires.
This would however be a good time for the boys at Starspeed to focus their efforts in preparedness for 'catching' any business which might emerge from the current uncertainties - that's how the business world survives!

Sad to hear. Not long since they were probably the market leader.
Isn't a designated Chief Engineer a mandatory requirement in order to maintain their AOC? If so (and I think it is) they would need to recruit another asap or the company has gone the way of the Dodo.

Not a Chief Engineer for an AOC. A Continuing Airworthiness Manager for an AOC - not always the same person.
Not having a nominated Chief Engineer will have an affect on their Part 145 Approval. If they still have a Part 145!

FNW, You are more correct; I was thinking in practical terms, i.e. they need to maintain the aircraft they flew on their AOC.

Greed
The problem is that Avery got greedy and knows little about running the aviation, i heard from a reliable source that he did try and bring a business partner in who runs a small fixed wing outfit who was also the lead into investment. Apparently the deal was done, but Avery wanted personal money up front so the deal fell through before xmas and his apparent business partner dumped Avery and has continued on seperately. This all could have been avoided
if he had taken the deal before xmas, but it proves its not about the company its about himself and none of his promises have come to light yet. Its over for premiair sadly.

I cut up my Premiair security pass today..... can't see me needing that again.
One of the 'old' S76s departed Fairoaks on a trailer a couple of weeks ago. Rumour is it has been sold in the USA. If the company is in liquidation, is this legal?
