Your Back of House. My Life’s Work.

Hello — I’m Michael. For more than 40 years, hospitality hasn’t just been my career — it’s been my life. I’ve walked every corridor, managed every shift, balanced every budget, and solved every challenge that comes with running great venues — from the UK to Southeast Asia, the UAE, and beyond.

I started right here in England, spending 20 years as a publican, learning first-hand what it takes to build a business people trust and return to.

Then I moved into Southeast Asia, where for over 20 years I was Owner and Director of Hospitality Services in Asia — leading and delivering every kind of hospitality project from start to finish. I built operations from the ground up, served as General Manager of 5-star hotels, launched restaurant chains, and guided openings and expansions across the region. I was also a VIP Speaker for VSBG — the Vietnam Singapore Business Group, sharing my experience and insights with industry leaders across the continent.

From there, I took on full facility management in Ruwais, Abu Dhabi, working with one of the largest oil companies in the UAE — overseeing 20 active sites at once, leading 5,000+ staff and 15 senior managers, serving a truly multinational workforce. I’ve been featured on television in Hanoi, built teams across cultures, and lived by one simple truth my whole career:

“There is no such thing as a bad business or bad staff — only bad management.”

When the time came to think about stepping back, I realised: I didn’t want to retire from hospitality — I wanted to share everything I’ve spent a lifetime building. I’ve seen too many brilliant operators — boutique hotels, independent restaurants, pub groups, luxury resorts — buried in spreadsheets, chasing invoices, fixing systems instead of doing what they do best: leading their teams and welcoming their guests. That’s where I come in. I’m not selling you software. I’m here to support you, not replace you. I’m here to take the weight off your shoulders. BOH Management Partners handles your Back of House — the critical, unseen engine that keeps your business profitable, compliant, and running smoothly — so you can be the face your guests know and trust. Just as people return to a hotel or pub because of the person in charge — I’m here to be that trusted partner for you.
