Chairman of Blandy’s since 2001.
“The Group needed to change and this process started during my brother Richard's chairmanship, our ambition being to make a dynamic, modern and forward thinking group yet nearly 200 years old. The Group benefits from the traditional strengths of a family company and has a proven ability to take a long-term view when appropriate. We have been successful in creating joint ventures, because of our proven track record in Portugal and Spain and in part because of our culture of openness and straight dealing. I believe that these conditions, together with our chosen core business enables the Group to be well positioned to take advantage of the future, completing the transition we started with Richard.“

Philip joined Blandy’s in 2005 as Finance Director for Portugal and was appointed Group Finance Director in 2006.
"With recent disposals completed in 2004 & 2005, the Blandy Group again demonstrated its clarity of purpose in adapting to the changing business environment. The challenge facing the Group over the next few years is to use its undoubted financial strength in the focused development of the 3 core business pillars Hotels, Tourism Services & Media. Whilst significant experience already exists in these core areas this will be enhanced through key strategic partnerships and the continuous development of our core asset...our people."

José joined Diário de Notícias da Madeira in 1984 as General Manager and was Editor from January 1994 until October 2005. He was appointed a Group Board Member in November 2005.
”We represent the largest Media Group in the region, and I have over the last 20 years implemented an active development of the Díario from lead based printing to the current digital era. The Group has provided the necessary conditions to allow for an Independent Newspaper providing the Madeiran community with unbiased, rigorous and a responsible source of information.
The Diário is part of the region’s history and future, and the challenge I have is to lead the Group’s Media Division so that the strengths of today are still with us for the next generation.”

Daniel joined the group in 2004 as CEO Hotel Division.
Having defined this area as one of the core pillars of the business, we decided to define a product and services that are clearly differentiated and do not fall into the category of commodities.
Combining in-depth knowledge of the market and customer demand with our vast experience in the sector, we aim at managing a varied portfolio of properties in cities and resorts in keeping with our vision. As our core competencies lie in managing hotels our services may also be contracted by third parties who will benefit from our solid base of know-how.
Initially our aim is to achieve consolidation in the Portuguese home market before expanding into the Iberian Peninsula and beyond. |
