Bart and I worked together whilst he was leading several hotels and I was supporting him transitioning two hotels from non-operational to full performing properties. Bart is one of those rare individuals who is able to recruit and build a team that is engaging and empowered to perform to the utmost. I have always thoroughly enjoyed seeing Bart lead his teams to success in the various properties he opened, transitioned and operated. In transition and start-up times it is easy to lose overview and oversight, but this was never the case with Bart. He was able to source suppliers, materials and service agreement and put in place organisations ready to deliver. I would highly recommend Bart for any future endeavour.

I had the pleasure of working with Bart for 10 months in my first role with glh. His operational and commercial knowledge was outstanding with a real clear understanding of the operational and financial balance of running a large hotel. I was lucky enough to take over some of Bart's hotel initiatives that have gone on to deliver high revenues through space utilisation and capital investment in the property that have ensured standards have been upheld throughout. Bart was a fantastic colleague and a fantastic business leader to work alongside.
