About Tom Vermerris

Hi! Thank you for taking the time to read a bit more about me! I'm an experienced hospitality manager with a passion for the industry that goes way back to when I was just 14 years old, starting out as a kitchen porter in a small pub. Over the years, my journey has taken me through various facets of hospitality, from Food & Beverage to Duty, Rooms, and Revenue management. Currently, I proudly oversee three PREMIER SUITES PLUS properties situated across the Netherlands and Belgium. This means I have the privilege of managing a total of 329 serviced apartments in vibrant cities like Rotterdam, Amsterdam, and Antwerp. I take immense pride in our team's dedication to delivering exceptional experiences, and it shows in our outstanding guest review scores. My approach to management is all about empowerment. I firmly believe in guiding my colleagues to excel in their roles rather than dictating how they should operate. It's amazing to witness their growth and the outstanding results they achieve. But that's not all there is to me. Beyond the world of hospitality, I'm a also a family man. I'm blessed to have a wonderful wife (whom I met in the industry btw), and together, we share the joy of raising a beautiful daughter. Our journey together has been nothing short of amazing. When I'm not immersed in the hospitality world, you can often find me pursuing some of my other passions. I'm a connoisseur of American barbecue, and there's nothing quite like the satisfaction of preparing the perfect brisket which sometimes takes up the entire weekend! Additionally, I'm an avid mountain biking enthusiast, and I have a knack for diving deep into my hobbies to truly understand every facet. Whether it's optimizing guest experiences or perfecting my favourite barbecue recipes, I'm all about the pursuit of excellence. I'm excited to connect with fellow professionals and enthusiasts alike. Let's chat about hospitality, barbecue techniques, or the best mountain biking trails – I'm always up for a meaningful conversation or collaboration.
