The entire STS Aviation Group team deserves credit for this achievement. I view myself as a guide and mentor for our talented professionals, working tirelessly to chart a course that propels STS Aviation Group into a bright and promising future.“

Anson is also candid about the challenges that have marked the past three years, noting the exceptional resilience and dedication of his colleagues. With humility and pride, he emphasizes that while his name may grace the award, it truly belongs to the cohesive and committed STS Aviation Group family. In his words, „While the award bears my name, it is, in fact, a tribute to the exceptional individuals who collectively mold STS Aviation Group into the close-knit family we are today.“

The recognition of Philip Anson Jr.’s impactful leadership by Florida Trend Magazine serves as a testament to the unity, dedication, and innovative spirit that define STS Aviation Group’s culture.
