A lot of us at RBH have been together a long time, which speaks volumes.
With over 100 team members based in our London and Glasgow offices and 1,900 employees in our hotels, we have the scale to deliver operational excellence.
THE EXECUTIVE TEAM
The RBH family is looked after by our Executive Committee and we're proud to have passionate hoteliers leading our business.
Helder Pereira

Helder is at the helm, and being Portuguese, he’s authentically passionate about everything, but primarily about ensuring each owner gets the results they need while supporting his team to achieve these results.
If you listen to Helder talking about your hotel and how much it means to him and to the rest of RBH, we guarantee you will feel valued, inspired and in safe hands.

Andrew Robb
Chief Business Development Officer
Andrew’s positivity and hunger for success is perfect for RBH since he is the one tasked with growing our business and driving the strategy forward!
It’s not just about adding new hotels for Andrew though, he is always keen to ensure the owners we are partnering with share our values and more importantly that we can add value to their investment. It helps that he is pretty good at his numbers too!
David Hart
Chief Financial Officer
David looks after the cash and is passionate about driving the business forward through analysis, systems and efficiencies across the board.

Vibhu Gaind
Chief Information Officer
Vibhu began life at RBH working at our very first hotel at Heathrow airport. His development through to the Executive Committee is testament to his hard work and skill as well as the culture of nurturing talent within RBH. Vibhu is widely recognised as one of the most experienced IT professionals within the hotel industry and we are lucky to have him!
Gregor MacNaughton
Chief Technical Officer
Gregor, who has more than 17 years' experience in the hotel industry, has always played an absolutely pivotal role within the RBH team. After initially spending eight years at RBH as Group Property Manager - a role he took up shortly after graduating with an MSc in Construction Project Management - he took up the role of Head of Property Management with the Principal Hotel Company. Three years later, he returned to us as Group Capital Manager before being swiftly promoted to Director of Technical Services. During his time, he has contributed massively to the successful delivery of a number of key projects.
THE EXPERTS WHO BACK US
We are guided and governed by an experienced group of directors. These individuals bring a wealth of skills and expertise to the management of RBH.
With several directors currently or formerly operating at CEO, CFO and COO level of listed entities, RBH benefits from invaluable market experience and industry knowledge.
Our primary shareholders are RDI REIT and Tsogo Sun, with the remainder of shares held by a combination of management and high net worth individuals, all of whom have had hotel experience.
