As founder and chief executive of Interserv, I created a career around providing the most comprehensive solutions and start-to-finish project management for hospitality renovations and facility maintenance. If you are looking for a company to take on all the details of your project, look no further.
I enjoy solving problems and earning enough trust to be considered a partner, so running my own business was a life goal. My father, who operated an appliance repair store in Savannah, Ga., during the civil rights era, used me early on as his helper and instilled a respect for a strong handshake and the power of your word.
Hey everybody this is Ted Kelly again
with another Ted's Hospitality Minute.
Hey we've got a great guest on the day
Kevin Filer with Davidson's Hotel and
Resort, senior vice president
design and construction. Hey Kevin,
welcome aboard! How are you doing? - I'm doing
great, thanks for inviting me Ted. - Oh
awesome man, glad to have you. So hey, tell
us a little bit about how
things are going over at Davidson. I know
a lot of folks are probably going
through a little bit of a tough time
right now with this Covid 19 crisis, but
how are you guys doing? - Yeah, we're doing
great. I don't know if you know much
about Davidson hotels and resorts but we
manage iconic assets in great locations.
We have 52 hotels right now and we're
continuing to grow. Most of our drive-to
destinations are starting to show signs
of recovery and most of our projects
have continued to go. We were very
fortunate, we had a number of projects
that have started right before the
downturn and the ownership groups that
we work with were able to secure
liquidity and there are pretty good
balance sheets and we're able to keep
the funding going for these projects. So
again we're probably in a better
situation than a lot of our competitors. The goal really is to
come out on the other side of this thing
in a better competitive position to our competition.
-Yeah, hey that's awesome because I would
say you're probably unique and that you
were able to keep projects going during
the crisis because a lot of the projects
that were in play, I think we're placed on
hold or you know the ownership group
decided, hey. you know we may want to do
something else with that capital given a
situation.
