Having awardedCEOTolaBashir Best LuxuryTravel CEO2018 –UK inour 2018Global CEOAwardswe invitedhimto talkus through this innovative company andhowhehas driven it to the success it enjoys today. Supreme Jet Services : Soaring Above the Competition Seeking to revolutionise the private jet industry, Tola founded Supreme Jet Services, and over the last year the company has achieved incredible success. He explores how far he has come and how he has created a unique company that offers an innovative service to its valued and esteemed clientele. “Personally, I have been an entrepreneur for longer than I can remember, I started my first business at 21 building computers, followed by working for a FTSE 100 recruitment company and since then I have been a director of a few other companies which has lead me to where I am now. “Today, I am CEO of Supreme Jet Services, a small private jet charter broker with big plans of becoming a major player in the private aviation sector. The firm is aggregating demand and selling seats for On Demand charters or on aircraft flying to destinations empty. Supreme Jets allows users to book private jets (or seats on private jets) instantly, to be airborne within three hours or to bid or make offers on seats on the global Supreme Jets community; all through your smart phone with the soon to be launched app.” Historically, the firm has had to work hard to achieve success and gain the funding and support it needs to succeed, but as Tola highlights, his dedication to collaboration has helped drive his company to become a key player in this competitive industry. “Since we started, the biggest challenge for Supreme Jet Service has been raising capital to grow the company. We have recently managed to arrange an ongoing source of funds which will help us make our firm a recognised brand. We have also seen some great opportunities come our way and have agreed on some really good collaborations, and these will help drive us to even greater success.” Communication is something that, as a leader, Tola focuses on. Thanks to his vast experience as an entrepreneur, Tola understands what it is to be a leader, and is eager to share an insight into his style with us. “As a leader, I like to lead from the front, and I am still very much hands on with pretty much everything thing that goes on within Supreme Jet Service. I am very passionate about what I do and like to express that to whoever comes in contact with my company. I feel dialog with my staff and the companies we have outsourced to is very important so that everybody understand what my vision is for Supreme Jets. The core team have been with me from the start, so they have seen the developments and challenges we have faced so far. I also regularly speak with all of our suppliers and the industry peers we work with to ensure we are all on the same page. “Being a private jet brokerage, we outsource a lot of our work, and as such communication is key. We are proud to work closely with our partners, and the same can be said for our customers. When taking on new customers and looking after repeat customers firstly and most importantly, we ensure customer satisfaction, something we pride ourselves on to help ensure everybody comes back to use the service again. This communicative approach ensures success and satisfaction for everyone involved.” As he looks to the future Tola is optimistic that Supreme Jet Services can grow and flourish over the years to come, as he is proud to conclude. “Looking ahead, Supreme Jet Services will soon be a unique, dynamic, integrated cloud platform for Empty Leg and private jet charters. My overall goal is to become the most renowned private aviation charter brokerages in the whole industry. Once this has been achieved maybe one day I will look into becoming an FBO, fixed based operator, and looking after my own and my clients’ private jets. These developments will ensure ongoing success for both myself and my company moving forward.” Company: Supreme Jet Services Contact: Tola Bashir Address: 152-160 City Road, London, EC1V 2NX, UK Phone: 0203 950 1937 Web Address: www.supremejets.com GCE18049
