Abstract: | The story of a Greek businessman who set up business in Britain is presented, with an analysis of the reasons behind his move. Dennis Mendoros qualified in Britain as a pilot and aeronautical engineer. After a decade in the Greek aero industry, he came back to fill a hole in the market. His business was relying on major defence contractors who do not like minor jobs; thus a small company with sound quality, good engineers and extremely low overheads could well win such contracts. The modest building in the town of Earby houses now a prosperous defence contractor with a healthy performance: The business turned over GBP 3.8 million in 1990. Euravia Engineering and Supply company's main line is servicing military jet engines. |
