Company to be owned by Harry Williams, Jon Gross, John Issa Family and Kevin Levee
NEGRIL, JAMAICA November 7, 2012 – SuperClubs
Chairman, John Issa, announced today that he is in negotiations to sell
Hedonism II to Marshmallow Ltd a new company headed by majority
stockholder Harry Williams and including Jon Gross, the John Issa Family
and Kevin Levee.
The
group has said that upon conclusion of a deal, there will be a smooth
transition of ownership with no interruption to service. All
reservations and tour operator contracts will be honoured and the
property will not be rebranded and will continue to deliver and enhance
the Hedonism Holiday.
“Hedonism II is John Issa’s legacy,
the concept, formation and operation has so much of him in it. It has
been a long-term goal of mine to own the resort and to invest the funds
needed to enhance its facilities to even higher standards. We are proud
that he has chosen to consider us to continue to innovate, modernize and
maintain Hedonism II as the leading resort in our industry.”
“This
ownership group is ideal and should calm any fears that Hedonists have
had about their beloved resort falling into hands that have no
understanding or experience in this market,” said Jon Gross, CEO of
Marshmallow Ltd.
John
Issa added, “Hedonism II is the ultimate gem in its market, not only is
the location on the seven-mile Beach in Negril ideal but it is the
storied resort that all its competitors attempt to live up to. It is an
important part of my contribution to tourism and I am happy to be in
discussions for it to be preserved for many years to come by people that
hold it as dear to their hearts as I do.”
Kevin
Levee, a 28-year employee of SuperClubs and the current General Manager
of the resort added, “our first goal is to bring the operation of the
resort back to 100% and to this end we are immediately investing in many
of the facilities”.
Marshmallow Ltd has a US$10 million renovation plan including room renovations, which will begin immediately on completion.
