Peter started his career back in the ’fifties, working for major chains all over the world, and passing through all stages of middle and higher management. In 1982, Peter joined with a business partner to buy a failing first class resort.
Over the years, more hotels were added to the venture. Peter and his partner now own seven excellently performing 4 and 5-star hotels with over 1,400 rooms, all in the Netherlands. In addition to his Dutch properties, Peter also has shares in privately owned hotels and restaurants in various other countries.
Since its start, PH&A has revived tens of underperforming hospitality properties, serving its clients around the globe: from Havana to Beijing, from Bangkok to Minsk.
