After many years of being on the other side of motel deals, we finally got the chance to work with David Burrough and his team. David has been our first choice ever since and it is easy to know why. Fast, knowledgeable, commercial, responsive and efficient. David has done and seen it all and devises practical solutions to problems that arise during negotiations. His advice is tailored, practical and clear. A rare quality act in this sector deserving the full five stars; how appropriate for a hospitality specialist!
