April 24, 2008, Winnipeg – The Rolls-Royce Authorized Maintenance Center (AMC) Council has announced the election of 30 year industry veteran Tom Roche, Vice President of Helicopter Programs for Standard Aero, as Chairman of the Council for a two-year term.
 
The Council is made up of representatives from each of the 13 Rolls-Royce authorized maintenance centers and the three Rolls-Royce service centers throughout the world that are the engine MRO providers within the Rolls-Royce FIRST network. The Council provides "voice-of-the-customer" insight to Rolls-Royce and works cooperatively with the engine manufacturer on a variety of product-enhancement initiatives to benefit the end-users of the model 250 engine.
 
"We believe the Council provides valuable insight and support for the product and our customer base,” commented Rolls-Royce FIRST network Manager Mark Thompson. “I'm confident that Tom will successfully move the team forward over the next two years."
 
The AMC Council has been under the leadership of John Loney since 2004 when the Council was created. “John’s guidance and wisdom have set a solid base for our future,” commented Roche. “I look forward to continuing his good work.”
