Laurence was involved with the original concept airline in 1985. It was when Concorde ceased flying that he decided to resurect the all first class airline Royal Atlantic.
His airline experience comes from his time flying as cabin crew with British Airways. His service experience comes from his catering and hotel trade knowledge, his business knowledge comes from running his own restaurant and bar and his ability to deliver the special Royal Atlantic first class service comes from his time with the BBC at Television Centre in London where he worked in the Hospitality Department that looked after stars, actors and musicians and catered to the Queen and Royal family when they visited the BBC.
