Richard Williams needs no introduction, his work in the hospitality industry is legendary. He was born in Barbados to a Canadian Mother and Barbadian Father and was educated at Appleby College, Canada and Cornell University USA. His many triumphs are much lauded but he is best known for his extraordinary achievements with the iconic Sandy Lane Hotel.
He was first appointed to Sandy Lane in 1989 by Trust House Forte, which was, at the time, the largest hotel group in the world and Sandy Lane the jewel in its crown. After overwhelming success in the early 70’s, the legendary hotel was seen to be underperforming, and Richard was brought in as General Manager to rectify this. During his epochal eight years, his innovative and dynamic style of leadership drove an enormous upsurge in popularity that culminated in a much-publicised buyout by a private consortium. His services were retained, in the new role of Chief Executive, and he spearheaded the redevelopment and executed the $500 million US Dollar planning and redesign. As a result, Sandy Lane remains to this day the preeminent, independent resort hotel in the world. |
