Pretoria born Stuart Lamont, a leading property developer from Kwa-Zulu-Natal’s South Coast, joined the Group in 1994. Stuart focused on developing and implementing technologically advanced, measurable systems, procedures and quality of service, in all aspects of the Group.
Stuart’s experience in property development and management, together with his keen attention to detail and exceptional negotiating skills, soon led the group to acquire and develop other exciting products such as Off Beat Holiday Club, Star Vacation Club, Club Trafalgar, Club Resorts International (CRI), Magic Breakaways and numerous other key leisure properties. These rapidly grew in value to over R2,880 million during 2002. Over the years Tony and Stuart, as partners in the Management Companies of the Group, have continued to modify products to meet ever-changing market dynamics. An example is the revolutionary Corporate Club concept, offering business accommodation, to companies, in key business centres throughout South Africa, effecting savings of almost 50% on regular hotel accommodation costs
With the support of a handpicked, common-vision management team, the Group has successfully progressed to develop a portfolio of leisure and business accommodation clubs, including: Flexi-Club, Star Vacation Club, Off Beat Holiday Club, Rainbow Holiday Club, Corporate Club, Flexi-Vac and Premier Vacation Club with inventory valued at over R2,880 million (as at 2002) in over 150 resorts, as well as a number of service companies to provide the full spectrum of services to members and partners.
