World Fuel Services, with its regional center in London, United Kingdom, proudly announced May 22, that they have become the Founding Member of the Royal Air Force (RAF) Museum’s Corporate Membership Programme and an RAF Centenary Partner. With the 100th anniversary of RAF’s founding taking place in June of 2018, World Fuel Services will participate in many of the celebrations and events planned around this milestone.
The museum operates in Hendon, North London and in Cosford. Both sites offer free admission to the public with the mission of “telling the story of the Royal Air Force through its people and collections and to ensure that the Royal Air Force's story endures and enriches future generations.” The museum includes a world-class collection and display of aircraft, special exhibitions, films, interactives, artwork, engines, missiles, photographs, medals and uniforms, along with research and education facilities.
“It’s wonderful to have World Fuel Services on board as our Founding Corporate Member. We are looking forward to working together to build a long term relationship for the future,” said Maggie Appleton MBE, CEO of the Royal Air Force Museum
World Fuel Services’ sponsorship directly supports the ongoing redevelopment efforts of the museum’s Hendon location. Development includes new exhibitions showcasing the RAF’s first 100 years and the role of the RAF from the Cold War into the future, along with outdoor renovations and landscaping to bring back the sense of space and place of the historic Hendon Aerodrome.
“World Fuel Services is delighted to support the RAF Museum as Founding Member of its Corporate Membership Programme and an RAF Centenary Partner. We are committed to the aviation space, with a long and proud history of delivering aviation fuel, services and solutions to the Military, General and Commercial aviation sectors. It’s very exciting for our company to be able to play our part in sharing the stories and celebrating the RAF’s achievements with the community and the hundreds of thousands of aviation enthusiasts who visit the museum. We look forward to joining the museum’s RAF centenary celebrations and other events,” commented Mark Amor, World Fuel Services’ Vice President of Commercial Development.
