Client Comments

'I worked closely with Niels as The English-Speaking Union considered how best to maximise the value and long-term potential of Dartmouth House, our Grade II* listed mansion in Mayfair. Niels played an instrumental role in helping the Board navigate a complex strategic question. His advice on the feasibility, risks, and market opportunities surrounding a private members’ club in Mayfair was clear, pragmatic, and grounded in a sound practical knowledge of the sector.

His guidance was critical in enabling us to reach a clear and well reasoned decision to pursue an alternative direction, one that better serves both our mission and our long term sustainability.

Niels continues to be a valuable partner in shaping the future of Dartmouth House as a centre for public speaking and debate, ensuring it remains the home of the English-Speaking Union while also maximising the income potential of our wider property portfolio. His insight, professionalism, and strategic instincts have given the Board real confidence in securing a stable and successful future for the charity. He is also a pleasure to work with bringing sound judgement, understanding of and respect for our organisation and good humour to difficult issues.'

Niels wealth of knowledge in the hospitality industry proved invaluable to our project. His insights, fresh thinking, and extensive network of industry connections were pivotal to our project.

I have had the privilege to have known Niels for over a decade and more recently, to have worked with him on a number of projects. Niels is one of London’s premier hoteliers having managed a number of market leading properties. He has worked with top entrepreneurs as well as with corporate boards which does say much about his natural ability to work adapt and work constructively within any framework. I was greatly impressed by his work with 67, Pall Mall as it is no mean feat to establish a new accepted membership club on Pall Mall.

 

I enjoy working with Niels. He listens, he is engaging, thoughtful and considered. He is open minded and keeps a calm perspective. He is not afraid to challenge traditional thinking but does so in the right way. He also clearly enjoys learning about new environments, cultures and solutions.  Add these qualities to his career expertise and Niels is a top calibre consultant that I can only highly recommend.
