Let’s find the solution that works for you.

Raymond Court-Hampton- 47 Years of Expertise in the Hospitality Industry.

Since 1977, I have dedicated my career to the hospitality sector, bringing 47 years of hands-on experience in hotel and pub management, business turnaround, and operational consultancy.

Extensive Leadership Experience

As a General Manager, I have led operations in:

  • Four major UK hotel groups
  • Five independent country house hotels
  • Two national brewery hotels

In 1993, I was approached by a leading London consultancy to take control of their distressed hotels division. My role involved identifying business challenges and implementing rapid, effective solutions. This required close collaboration with banks, accountants, solicitors, creditors, and management teams—often dealing with insolvency and bankruptcy scenarios. Over four years, I developed an extensive skill set and built a network of highly experienced professional contacts, all of whom I can now call upon cost-effectively for my clients.

Independent Hospitality Adviser – 22 Years of Success

For over two decades, I have worked independently, focusing on the private sector within the hospitality industry. My service is uniquely cost-effective and delivers expert insights that accountants, solicitors, licensed estate agents, and surveyors simply cannot offer.

I specialise in:
✔ Ensuring business continuity under financial pressure
✔ Improving cash flow and profitability
✔ Optimising food, beverage, accommodation, and pricing strategies
✔ Handling creditor, funding, legal, and landlord disputes
✔ Providing crisis management and business turnaround solutions

I take immediate action to relieve my clients of financial and operational pressures, allowing them to focus on their business and customers. My expertise covers pubs and hotels of all sizes, styles, and ratings across rural, town, and city locations throughout the UK.

Why Choose My Approach?

  • 100% Success Rate – Every client I have worked with has seen positive results.
  • Fast, Practical Solutions – Unlike traditional professionals, I think outside the box and move quickly.
  • Real-World Experience – Unlike accountants and solicitors, I have lived through the challenges of self-employment in hospitality.
  • Industry-Specific Expertise – Standard business manuals lack the flexibility and industry relevance needed for today’s ever-changing hospitality landscape.

Consultation Fees

  • £150 per hour (plus travel and accommodation if required)
  • Meetings outside Bristol: Minimum charge of £395 for 3 hours + travel & accommodation
  • Fees are significantly lower than accountants and solicitors (who typically charge £275+ per hour plus VAT)
  • All fees must be settled in advance via bank transfer

For tailored reports, studies, business plans, management contracts, or representation, pricing is determined based on the complexity and timescales involved.
