I have thirty years experience within the hotel and resorts sector.

This covers all areas from line management within operations, consulting advisory and corporate finance and property strategies.

I have even been an owner of my own hotel which I sold at the beginning of 2007.

I specialise in new hotel development and financing solutions within the hotel sector and in Management Agreements.

Resorts are a particular passion and I have a great deal of experience with these from inception to operations
