Matt Bowers, Managing Director
I have always admired the Portico brand and with around 20 years’ experience across hospitality, guest services, and the FM industry, I’ve seen first-hand what great service looks like at its best.
Our Portico people are highly connected to their clients, to each other, and to the Portico values all demonstrated through our Service with Heart methodology, an intrinsic part of our brand. There’s a genuine sense of pride across our business as we create outstanding experiences for our clients on a daily basis dating back to our conception in 2004.
Oliver Hiner, Regional Director
I joined the Portico family in 2015 to lead a new group account and have since gone on to lead some of our largest client locations, having been promoted to Operations Director in 2019.
I’m a huge advocate for championing culture change throughout our business with a focus on service development, innovation and challenging the status quo. Nurturing talent and inspiring others to excel is one of my strengths and I continue to drive our quality metrics for Portico.
Richard O'Keefe, Business Development Director
In my role, I work closely with our industry and our clients, listening first to truly understand their challenges, priorities, and ambitions – so we can shape Portico solutions that work in real life, not just on paper. I’m passionate about creating environments where people feel proud of what they deliver.
With close to 20 years in premium hospitality, my experience spans luxury hotels and corporate environments, from on-site leadership and multi-site operations through to strategic, client-wide delivery. That journey has given me a practical, well-rounded view of what exceptional service looks like at every level.
Candice Van Antwerp, Head of People
My role is dedicated to empower our employees to do their best, enhance engagement and development opportunities, and create a positive employee journey. I have oversight of the overall HR function, TUPE transfers and onboarding, in accordance to our Company policies and official legislation.
Dr David Bevens, Head of Learning and Development
My role encompasses driving and championing the Portico Learning & Development Academy. From analysing our learning needs to designing, delivering, and evaluating programs, I ensure alignment with our values, prioritising engaging, interactive, and relatable learning experiences.
Additionally, I spearhead the development of commercial learning products for external markets, leveraging our team’s extensive expertise to benefit both Portico and our clients.
