He and the company were added to the BIS’s “entity list” which places export restrictions on businesses.
But in response Mr Avery said PremiAir had been given “no explanation” about why it was on the list or had any contact with the US Government. The company denied ever dealing with Iran or breaching any US sanctions, adding it operated to “high ethical standards”.
Mr Avery said he was “concerned and surprised” by the “total lack of communication” from the BIS about the matter and the company would do whatever necessary to be removed from the list.
Graham Avery said he wants to create something for Hemsby by redeveloping the site and defended his business record.
