During initial feasibility studies Edward was introduced to Mr. Dilokpol Sundaravej (Tik), working at the time as country manager for Jones Lang LaSalle.

The team commissioned some of the world’s top contractors and professionals including; Baker Tilly Thailand, Bovis Lend Lease, Bishop International, Johnson, Stokes and Master, Connell Wagner, WATG, A49 Design, and Hirsch Bedner.
Like all members of the senior management team, Edward intends to live on the island once it is completed.
