    Butterfly Hotels - Skills & Experience

Clive Nicholls
Operated hotels in administration for the accountants BDO Stoy Hayward (London office - Geoff Kinlan and Peter Copp) and the Bristol Office, Deloittes (London Office – Nick Dargan) and Arthur Andersen for 5 years in the early and mid 90’s.  Taplow House Hotel, Maidenhead was operated for 3 years for BDO and Lloyds bank as the sale value was too low. Business was built back up and the hotel sale value was increased by £1.0m.  Shrigley Hall, near Manchester was operated on a short term basis for BDO. A new General Manager was appointed, business was realigned and turnover/profit was boosted, thus allowing the bank a quick exit with full value.  Avon Inns - a group of 13 hotels and inns in the Bath area. The group was operated for a number of years – again improving the sales through promotions, reducing costs through better purchasing and then allowing the bank and Arthur Andersen to sell them.  Operated approximately 40 hotels on behalf of administrative receivers from Edinburgh to Swansea and Folkestone .

Operation 
We have an excellent range of national suppliers – Matthew Clark , Brakes, 3663, Sunlight Laundry, BOC, Russell Hume (meat suppliers ) M&J Seafoods and other major hospitality suppliers.  These suppliers can be relied on to instantly supply our hotels at our very competitive group prices.  We currently purchase in excess of £500,000 from our larger suppliers which has enabled us to negotiate the best prices.  We regularly benchmark our prices against our competitors to ensure that we are obtaining the best deals.
