FOUNDER'S LETTER
Andrew Cairncross
– Managing Director
If you had told me way back in 1991, when Michael Martin and I formed Cairncross Martin on the back of the Ritz Carlton Double Bay Sydney project, that in year 2022 – some 32 years later - the business would still be “alive and kicking” with offices in Dubai United Arab Emirates, Sydney Australia, Vietnam and Thailand – well, I would not have believed you… if you had told me Cairncross Martin had successfully delivered over 400 top end projects in this time, well ….. again I would not have believed you!!
In fact, in 1991, I doubt any of us would have heard of the Emirate Dubai – how the world has changed!Dubai now offers the world the most magnificent of hotels and the Middle East region continues to prosper notably the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, where I am sure we shall see another massive growth region over the next decade or so. Additionally, we are witnessing the rapid recovery of the hospitality industry in S-E Asia and Australia Pacific after the pandemic ….. a tribute to the positive nature of hotel developers, operating companies and affiliated industries, including FF&E procurement. My sincere thanks to all whom have been involved with the success of Cairncross Martin over the years. It’s been quite a journey!!
