The Metrotel: A New Era Dawns as it Changes Hands

In the heart of the charming coastal city of New Plymouth, a shining beacon of accommodation has captivated guests for years – The Metrotel. Although a relatively new property, this iconic establishment has been serving as a symbol of excellence in accommodation and customer service, becoming an integral part of the city’s allure. On the market for only a matter of months, it didn’t take long for Thomas Begemann, the proud new owner, to recognise the reasonably priced golden opportunity and make the decision to acquire this remarkable business.

The driving force behind this successful business acquisition is none other than LINK Business Brokers Accommodation Specialist Lindsay Sandes. With a personal connection to Begemann, Sandes played a crucial role in bringing this deal to fruition. He promptly alerted Begemann about the listing, proving that in the world of business, connections are key. And when it comes to credentials, Sandes is a true heavyweight. Among his most esteemed achievements is his induction into the Chairman’s Club, a prestigious honour bestowed upon only the elite brokers across the entire LINK Global network. With an outstanding track record of awards and accolades, Sandes has proven himself to be a formidable figure in the industry, cementing his reputation as a trustworthy and accomplished professional.

Throughout the sale process, Sandes’ expertise shone brightly, and he proved to be an invaluable asset to Begemann. “There were moments when it seemed like the deal might fall through,” Begemann shared, “but Lindsay’s masterful negotiating skills and innovative solutions paved the way for a successful purchase.” Sandes’ keen eye for detail and strategic thinking helped navigate the complexities of the transaction, ensuring a seamless and mutually beneficial agreement for all parties involved.

Begemann couldn’t speak highly enough of his experience with Sandes and LINK. He commended Sandes’ professionalism, timely communication, problem-solving abilities, and outstanding interpersonal skills. “I wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone looking to buy or sell a business in the accommodation industry,” Begemann emphasised. “The entire sale process was smooth, all thanks to Lindsay’s proactive approach and expert guidance.”

For those considering ventures in the accommodation industry, a collaboration with Lindsay Sandes of LINK Business Brokers is undoubtedly a wise choice. With his wealth of experience and keen understanding of the sector, he has guided countless individuals towards successful business transactions. Whether you’re looking to buy or sell, Sandes’ insights and strategic guidance will put you on the path to success.
