New interim GM support offered to Leading Hotels’ portfolio during times of leadership transition
As of September 2025, BHP is proud to announce that it has become a preferred service provider of The Leading Hotels of the World (LHW).
Now, LHW’s 425+ independent, luxury hotels will have access to a fast, flexible solution to
maintain service excellence and business continuity during leadership transitions. BHP has
launched a specialised service delivering experienced interim General Managers to upscale
and luxury hotels.
Recruiting a permanent General Manager can take several months. For many independent hotels
and smaller groups seamlessly managing leadership gaps can be a challenge. Without proper
oversight, properties risk operational instability, declining service quality, and reputational
damage - particularly in today’s real-time, review-driven hospitality environment.
Bridge Hospitality Partners fills this critical gap with a handpicked network of seasoned
GMs, many of whom have been at the helm of properties that are part of the LHW network. A
BHP interim GM can be deployed on short notice to stabilise operations, uphold brand standards
and provide steady leadership while owners or asset managers search for the right long-term hire.
“A senior leadership departure, either planned or unplanned, can quickly impact guest
loyalty, team morale and financial performance,” says Andrew Humphries, Co-
Founder, together with Jan Kirstein, of Bridge Hospitality Partners. “Our interim GMs
give owners or asset managers peace of mind—ensuring that there is a safe,
experienced pair of hands in charge during critical transition periods.”
Key features of the BHP service:
Rapid deployment of vetted, experienced interim GMs.
Fully flexible contracts: based on the leadership needs of the business.
Strong and experienced operational or pre-opening oversight.
Serving independent luxury hotels across Europe, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia, BHP
offers bespoke leadership solutions that ensure operational continuity without compromising
guest experience
