Our Executive team is led by Naushad Jivraj, the CEO of Queensway Group. The key focus of our team is to create long-term sustainable value for our businesses, our people and the communities in which we operate.
We deliver this by building teams that are fully engaged and passionate about our business. We know that, by focusing on delivering heartfelt hospitality for our guests and a great place to work for our colleagues, shareholder value will follow.
As a family business with a long-term vision, we are not solely looking to deliver shareholder returns financially. How we do business is as important to us as being successful. This balance is key – and we will only work with partners that share our values.
The leader of each business is part of the Executive Team. Nic Wenn is Managing Director of our Hotels’ business. Karim Jivraj, as Group Franchise Director, is responsible for our Starbuck’s and KFC businesses. Neena Jivraj Stevenson is Group Culture Officer as well as being Managing Director of The Sloane Club.
Also supporting Naushad and part of the Executive Team is Pierre Hardy (Group Finance Director) and Oliver Meakin (Operating Partner).
