Why could not Mr. Trew be the general manager?
Hello! And they wonder why people avoid this industry.. you mean after 125 years in Bermuda that Hamilton Princess still can’t find a Bermudian GM.
Mr Trew is not Canadian, and he has a long term interest in Bermuda and the hotels staff, whereas the Fairmont is interested in profits and that is it.
