Who We Are
At the heart of our Staylogix you’ll find the talented individuals that drive the success of our company, each bringing unique skills and industry experience.
Brian
Founder of New Horizons Pty Ltd (in Perth) in 1978, Brian drove that company’s growth to the point where (by 1997) it employed more than 40 staff, uplifted 25,000 holiday makers and enjoyed a turnover of more than $25 Million. After 19 years and having sold the business, Brian founded Travel Tree (Australasia) Pty Ltd, overseeing its strong development through a further 19 years. In 2001 Brian purchased Bussells Bushland Cottages in Margaret River then, through the next 15 years, added another 5 properties so that by 2016 he controlled 30 units of accommodation (55 bedrooms). Occupancy of these units grew to 90% by 2022, at which time Brian started to sell down. Now, his 2 remaining properties (17 units of accommodation) average 92% across the last 4 years.
These successes have come as the result of business acumen, owning properties of the right type in the right area and an intrinsic understanding of the market. Through 40+ years of business involvement, Brian’s mantra has been “Find the market, meet the market and satisfy the market.”
With all this experience behind him, he has teamed up with young people of impeccable values, and marketing flair, to offer a stress-free means of increasing YOUR occupancy and return on investment.
