Source: fly-corporate.com
 This summer, the ExecuJet Aviation Group will team up with Elephant Family, a charity solely dedicated to ensuring the survival of the Asian elephant, to take part in one of London's largest public art events, 'Elephant Parade'.
The event will see some of the capital's best-loved landmarks brightened up by the arrival of more than 250 beautifully decorated, life-size elephants.
Each elephant has been individually hand-painted by an assortment of established and emerging talent from the art and design world. ExecuJet's elephant, 'Flocking to the City', depicting white doves flying over the London skyline, was painted by 28-yr old Vicky Scott, a London-based illustrator. Niall Olver, CEO of ExecuJet said. "We are delighted to sponsor Elephant Family and are certain that 'Flocking to the City' will bring a smile to passenger's faces."
The elephants will grace some of London greatest landmarks including Leicester Square, The Royal Parks, Covent Garden and Tower Bridge from May to July, turning the capital into an urban jungle. They will then be herded together in one of London's parks for a magnificent group exhibition before being auctioned by Sotheby's at an event aiming to raise more than £1 million for the critically endangered Asian elephant.
