Hospitality leasing veteran Ted Schama has launched a new advisory business called One Voice Hospitality.
Schama said One Voice Hospitality would use its extensive network and experience to bring together operators, landlords and corporate finance to work collaboratively to realise opportunities.
The business is already working with several landlords and operators to unlock opportunities in a number of high-profile locations in Central London.
It is also advising a number of hospitality businesses on corporate finance projects, which in turn will give landlords “unparalleled insight into the direction of operating businesses”.
Schama said: “While so many aspects of the industry have changed in the last five years, people remain at the heart of it and are why I have created One Voice Hospitality. We place relationships centrally in decision-making through an eco-system in which parties come together to maximise opportunities.
“We offer clients, whether landlords, operators or investors, a full range of services, but our difference is that it is an integrated offer, rather than specialisms acting independently of one another. Our research has revealed fewer than 50% of restaurant businesses have a three- to five-year plan, relying instead on organic growth. One Voice Hospitality aims to change that.”
