Barry is an exceptional individual in the world of spa & wellness management. He has the rare ability to be a creative brand marketer as well. This is an important trait for someone who leads operations globally. He understands the need to pull through operationally what marketing needs to communicate to their audiences – creating one seamless brand experience that customers will want to talk about and come back to. This has made my job as a PR and marketer infinitely easier as it allows for creativity and focus in developing new ideas that can tell a story well in each market. Barry has an innate marketing ability and creativity in developing programmes that motivate and engage his audiences which make it a rigorous exercise in developing plans that support his marketing vision.
He has the ability to inspire the best from people around him and get things done to exceptionally high standards. Every project we’ve worked together on was a pleasure to work on with great results for stakeholders all round.

"Barry is a talented spa consultant with boundless positivity and creativity. He’s a great team player, working well with other consultants both domestically and internationally.
Barry understands appropriate and contextual design, often times, showing a cultural sensitivity that is rare in the industry. I worked with him on a 5-star luxury hotel project in China, and his carefulness and understanding the local context and tradition helped us to provide a great design.
He is truly a passionate spa consultant. I look forward to his continuing contribution for future projects."
