The opportunity to support hospitality business owners, management companies, general managers, and their respective teams throughout Asia deliver higher levels of service through globally gathered quantitative data, ongoing training, and measurement of results is an incredible prospect. <br>“Guest expectations in Asia are among the highest I’ve seen throughout my career, and to be able to share my track record of providing exceptional levels of service with hospitality leaders in over 10 countries to exceed guest expectations is going to be fundamental to the ongoing success of 59club in the region. Thanks to the hard work of the previous management team, 59club Asia is in a fantastic position and I’m very much looking forward to getting started in 2025.”<br>Simon Wordsworth, 59club founder & CEO, commented: “We are delighted to welcome Chris to the team – what an incredible asset for 59club and the clubs in the region to benefit from his expertise, experience and passion. <br>“We owe a huge debt of gratitude to Araya Singhsuwan for helping to establish our brand in Asia and to James Shippey of Absolute Golf Services for their unwavering support.
