Norman Arundel, director of EVT Hotels & Resorts, said: “We are confident in the growth opportunities facing EVT Hotels & Resorts in Asia Pacific. The addition of Brett is a direct reflection of that confidence – he has the relationships, track record and commercial instincts to accelerate what we are building.”
“EVT has built something truly compelling – a combination of strong brands and quality assets,
Backed by a reputation among owners for delivering results. This owner-operator mentality is rare, but it’s a real competitive advantage. I’m excited to work with the team to build a development pipeline that delivers long-term value to the business, our partners and our guests. “Forer said.
The group said the appointment reinforces EVT’s strategic focus on maximizing the value of its hotels and resorts portfolio as a core pillar of the business.
