Simon Scarborough – Profile
During the 26 years working in senior roles within the Hospitality Industry Simon has undertaken projects throughout the United Kingdom, Europe, America and Asia.
The overriding attribute that Simon always displays is that he always delivers the project on time, completed and never creating a business plan that won’t add value, which is realistic and achievable.
Simon’s strengths include the ability to develop and get the best from management and staff and never to tolerate indifferent standards of food, service, guest and staff relations; he has an unrivalled track record in ensuring that hotels manage to combine excellence in their service with financial success, ensuring a good return to owners.
Simon specialises in market demand and financial feasibility studies, strategic planning and the formulation of location and product development plans.
In addition to appraising markets for existing products and brands, Simon has worked with Main Board Directors and Owners in developing new concepts, analysing their market potential and viability before delivering them to market.
