Trevor Beecroft is what happens when hospitality, finance, and real-world grit sit down for a coffee and decide to collaborate. After cutting his teeth in Toronto’s restaurant scene — literally starting as a dishwasher — he worked his way through every role before becoming a consultant and business owner. Two years ago, he and his family swapped Canada for Ras Al Khaimah, and haven’t looked back since. These days, Trevor helps hospitality businesses in RAK grow smarter, run smoother, and remember that people — not spreadsheets — are the real engine.
