My Story

With a National Diploma in Hotel and Catering Operations from Cambridge and having studied a  B.Com from Unisa, I have amassed a wealth of experience in hospitality and property management. My journey began humbly, washing dishes in a UK hotel, and progressed to roles  as a Trainee Manager at Carlton Hotel, Hotel Accountant at The Wild Coast Sun, and General Manager at Club Mykonos. Along the way, I’ve managed and overseen the operations at esteemed establishments like Spier and the Sante Hotel and Wellness Centre. Notably, I honed my expertise in estate management at prestigious estates such as De Zalze and Woodhill Residential Estates, while earning a CMCA qualification and membership into the CAI. Over the past five years, I simultaneously managed a portfolio of four estates comprising nearly a thousand units across South Africa on behalf of Stay Longer. This encompassed not only the operational management of these entities but also included Board advisory roles within the HOAs, sectional title schemes, body corporates, and a trust.

With over 20 years of extensive experience, I’m excited to now have established Holden Property Networks, a company dedicated to delivering tailored solutions for optimizing business processes and achieving a superior ROI.
