Gordon Campbell Gray is the new chairman of the Considerate Hoteliers Association. Hailed as The Green Man in the Caterer & Hotelkeeper, GCG has long been noted for his constructive views on the environment and how the hotel industry can embrace green principles and still offer exemplary standards of service.
The elimination of waste is a hobby horse of Gordon Campbell Gray who is chairman of Campbell Gray Hotels with properties in London, Antigua, Beirut and France. “So much of what we offer guests because it supposedly epitomises luxury they do not want and therefore it invaribly gets wasted. Guests these days are far more in tune with what the real world is like, and expect hoteliers amongst others to be doing their bit to cut down on unnecessary gestures of opulence.”
Clearly there are messages here for fellow hoteliers, and the growing membership of CHA and its influence within the hotel industry is a positive sign the message that something must be done and ways must be changed is getting through.
The Caterer & Hotelkeeper which is running a Green Month during October is full of useful ideas and tips on sustainability, much of it offered by CHA members.
