We have utilised his services to spend some time looking at our operations and provide us with a comprehensive report highlighting the areas we could improve and importantly the ones which are operating effectively.

Ivor’s ability to accurately assess people and their suitability for a particular role is an asset to his management style and his willingness to share his views in an honest and constructive manner, which allows the client to appreciate and implement his insights is unprecedented.

I would highly recommend that any business seeking to improve their operations and therefore their bottom line should seek Ivor’s services.”

He is the best business manager I have ever worked with and he has a great understanding of what needs to be implemented in a business to achieve the desired results. He has a comprehensive and detailed understanding of financial management and business profitability, human resource management, workplace health and safety and the practical skills and knowledge to ensure the correct operational systems are developed for your business.

His extensive experience in food and beverage is evident in his ability to get the best results from restaurants, cafes and the food industry. Over this time, I have asked Ivor to be project manager on different projects we have been developing and he has been exceptionally thorough throughout the process, from planning and implementation to monitoring performance with key performance indicators.

I can’t recommend Ivor Davies and Resort Consulting highly enough. I’m absolutely certain that if you follow his advice, you will achieve your desired business results.

Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you require more information.”

In more recent years, since Ivor retired from his position with TLC, he accepted an offer to become the General Manager of Undara Experience and have the overall responsibility of overseeing the management of both Dutana Pty Ltd and Undaval Pty Ltd, which are the two companies responsible for Undara Experience operationally and structurally.

My personal and professional interests have traditionally been in the Beef Industry and they are currently as a partner in SPK Pastoral and as the owner and operator of Spring Creek station, with other members of my family. Ivor has a wealth of overall business knowledge and experience which can be applied in a number of different types of business and when he offered to assist with business planning relating to SPK Pastoral, we were quick to accept.

Ivor has made it a priority to personally become better informed on some of the different strategies required in running a pastoral operation and marry them with the general business principles which have served him so well over the years.

Ivor has been a great asset in being able to help prepare the next generation to take responsibility to manage these two family businesses in to the future and to help facilitate the succession process.

Ivor is well equipped to be able to advise, supervise and train individuals in best management practice and has the practical experience and academic qualifications to give me the confidence to accept his recommendations.”

Ivor has many skills and is in my view one of the best operators I have seen in 30 years in the hospitality business.

He is particularly adept at assessing people and working with them to grow their capabilities and get the best out of them.

He is very strong in his knowledge of operating a quality and cost efficient food and beverage operation. This is one of the most challenging areas in my experience to get right and maintain consistency of product quality and cost results. As an ex-chef Ivor “gets it” - you can’t pull the wool over his eyes with excuses. He can get in and re-engineer a business to drive its performance.

I could say a lot more but suffice to say if I had an issue in my business he would be the first person I would call to try and get me sorted and back on track. I am happy to elaborate personally on 0418888380.”
