International Golf Resort Management - Hospitality and Golf Resort Operational Strategy

A LEADER IN HOSPITALITY AND GOLF & RESORT OPERATIONAL STRATEGY

Expertise. Execution. Value.

Founded in 2004, International Golf & Resort Management (IGRM) is a specialist advisory firm delivering deep operational, financial and development expertise to the hospitality, golf and resort sectors.

We are a boutique firm providing big-firm capability, not because of our size, but because of the calibre and track record of our team.

We work with independent and family-owned golf clubs, hotels and resorts, investor-backed properties and institutional assets, helping owners, investors, developers, lenders and operators to solve complex challenges, restore performance, and guide projects from concept through to operational stability.

A Leader in Hospitality and Golf & Resort Operational Strategy

WHAT SETS US APART

Execution-Driven, Not Theory-Led.

IGRM is deployed when strategy alone is not enough, when a project requires disciplined operational execution, clear commercial logic and hands-on leadership.

We scale our approach to your asset, whether you're an independent boutique property seeking focused intervention or a multi-asset portfolio requiring comprehensive oversight.

Who We Work With

STRATEGIC ALLIANCE: IGRM + APPELLA COMMERCIAL FINANCE

Operational Strategy Supported by Specialist Funding Solutions

Operational strategy frequently requires capital for refurbishment, stabilisation, restructuring, acquisitions, or major development work.

To support this, IGRM has formed a strategic alliance with Appella Commercial Finance, an FCA-regulated finance advisory business specialising in hospitality, hotel, and leisure funding.

This partnership allows us to provide both the operational plan and the financial pathway needed to implement it, from smaller-scale refinancing to major development capital.

A Unique Combined Advantage

Most advisers can tell you what needs to be done. Very few can also help you fund it and execute it.

How the partnership works:

The Challenge IGRM's Operational Value (Credibility) Appella's Financial Value (Access)
Securing Capital We validate operational models, development programmes, and financial assumptions, strengthening lender confidence. Access to 150+ lenders, including specialists in the hospitality sector and funding solutions scaled to your needs.
Turnaround Funding We build the turnaround programme and operational roadmap that justify capital deployment. Appella structures and sources bridge, refinance, capex, acquisition, or development funding.
Mitigating Risk We oversee operational execution to ensure delivery of the plan. Appella manages the finance process for speed, clarity, and certainty.

This combined capability is rare in the hospitality sector, particularly for independent hotels, smaller operators and distressed assets.
