DOCUMENTED OUTCOMES
Case Studies
Real, documented outcomes from hotels and properties Andreas has worked with directly.
Real, documented examples of the operational and commercial work Andreas carries out with independent hotels. As further genuine client case studies are added, they will appear here, organised by hotel and type of engagement.
GENUINE CLIENT RESULT
Pop-Up Hotel, North West Ireland
A 140-bedroom student development facing roughly 12 weeks of summer vacancy was rebuilt as a fully staffed pop-up hotel — reaching 86% occupancy, over €1m in annual sales and 12% year-on-year growth across three consecutive summers.
GENUINE CLIENT PROJECT
Edinburgh Hostel to Aparthotel
A city-centre hostel carrying a 24/7 payroll all year, with profitability hanging on roughly two peak months. The operating model was redesigned as a lean self-catering aparthotel — cutting fixed staffing cost and the dependence on peak season, with the capital outlay targeted for recovery in Year 1.
BUILT IN OUR OWN HOTEL
Housekeeping App, Built In-House
Standard housekeeping minutes existed. Actual clocked hours existed. Nobody had ever put the two side by side on the same day — so we built the tool that does.
GENUINE CLIENT RESULT
Edinburgh City Centre Hotel
An 18-bedroom Edinburgh city centre hotel moved from a traditional, 24-hour staffed model to a lean, technology-led operation — cutting wage costs by 70% while growing revenue by 30% and profitability by 36%.
GENUINE CLIENT RESULT
Liverpool Student Apartments
75 vacant student apartments in Liverpool repositioned into the short-term rental market, taking projected investor return from around 11% to nearly 15%.
ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE
Independent Hotel Turnaround
A 40-room independent hotel with flat room rates, rotas that ignored forecast occupancy, and no owner-level cost visibility. See how a full operational review would typically address revenue management, staffing and reporting.
