Regional Aircraft lessor GA-Finance announces re-brand

GA-Finance, the Amsterdam based regional aircraft leasing company, is changing its name to TrueNoord Regional Aircraft Leasing. Established by founder and CEO Anne-Bart Tieleman in 2002 and joined by COO Joost Schlatmann in 2007, the business specialises in leasing solutions for the regional aircraft market from its base in Amsterdam. The change of name to TrueNoord coincides with the conclusion of a capital increase programme resulting in an investment from the private equity firm Bregal Freshstream. In addition to a change of name and attracting further capital, TrueNoord has also expanded its management team: Angus von Schoenberg joins as Chief Investment Officer for the business, Stephen Couttie joins as Chief Financial Officer and Garry Topp joins as Chief Commercial Officer. Furthermore TrueNoord introduced Nigel Turner as non-executive Chairman to the business.
