Who we are
Who we are
BTB Consulting SRL is an independent Belgian technical advisory firm, founded in 2019 and led by Yvon Le Cann. We work in hotel engineering, technical asset management, energy and environmental certification, mainly in Sub-Saharan Africa, France and Western Europe.
We work exclusively owner-side: on behalf of the owner, the investor or the lender, never for the contractor. Our value lies in reading the technical, financial and operational aspects of the same asset at once.
The firm draws on thirty-five years of experience gained at Le Méridien, Starwood and Radisson Hotel Group. BTB Consulting missions in 22 countries since 2019.
