Mark Ransom recently enjoyed a flight in an Extra 300 aerobatic stunt plane. The experience was more than a little exhilarating as he was invited by the pilot sitting behind to take the aircraft through rolls and loop the loops.
Although green when he got out of the plane, this very generous birthday present was the experience of a life time. |

January
2007 | Leasing Facility
We are pleased to announce that ANTONE
is now in a position to offer flexible financing
to all it's customers. Mark Ransom, Sales
Director, says,
"Many
of our clients will benefit from being able
to pay for projects over a number of years
rather than immediately. There is the added
benefit that leasing payments are tax deductible
against corporation tax. This provides a
net gain to the majority of profitable organisations
with a significant cash-flow benefit. Shop
fixtures and fittings can now be regarded
in the same way as a car or other capital
purchase, in terms of financing. Regardless
of the size or nature of a project, we can
put together a bespoke finance package that
falls in line with the strategic plans of
a brand or retailer."
