The KerrWood Board of Advisors has been established to offer clients a single point of access to all the major advisory disciplines required in the planning, development and operation of any hospitality asset.
The “Board of Advisors” includes some of Asia’s most respected hospitality professionals, each owning and operating an independent specialist advisory business, so we can be confident that our clients receive the appropriate level of personal attention from the most experienced people in the industry.
Subject to individual project requirements we will either combine professional resources under a single proposal, or offer more focused ad hoc services independently.
