Herald have provided pragmatic and responsive support to my team at a time when resources are under most pressure. This enables us to meet tight deadlines and close transactions within very short timelines. We work closely with the team and call on their market knowledge on a regular basis to provide an insight of the market and our future acquisitions."

Shaun Robinson
Managing Director of Somerston Capital

I have worked with James in a number of capacities during the last ten years, as his client , where he was advising "the other side" and as a colleague. His knowledge of the hotel industry is extensive and this means his advice is always well balanced, candid and current. In my view this makes him a compelling negotiator and deal maker.”

Felicity Black-Roberts
Vice President Acquisitions and Development,
Hyatt Hotels Corporation

As a first time hotel buyer it was important to have solid industry expertise. Herald provided honest and useful advice on all facets of the evaluation and acquisition process including aspects such as valuation, operations and development to effect the hotel purchase. Hopefully their continued advice and help will lead the purchase being a successful investment.”

Harry Tucker

We first used James 20 years ago when selling a 50 bedroom hotel from our family-owned business and have relied on him for advice ever since. Although he spends much of his time advising major international players he has always been available for friendly advice and guidance. James has huge experience and understanding of the hospitality scene at all levels; he can also be relied on for a sharp appraisal, keen common sense and a realistic prognosis of the situation. This is rare in a sector generally very keen to 'puff up' any opportunity they can.”
