Club La Costa Resorts & Hotels Expands Operations in UK and Russia

CLC creates new management roles as part of ongoing expansion in Eastern Europe

George Robertson has been promoted to Managing Director, Russia, to further develop Club La Costa’s rapidly expanding Eastern European operations in both timeshare and real estate sales. Currently there are two sales offices in Moscow and Krasnodar (Southern Russia) and 250 staff, with plans for new offices to be phased in.

At the same time, Claire Westhead joins Club La Costa’s UK division as Deputy Sales and Marketing Director.
Robertson has been with Club La Costa since 2003 and worked in the industry for 12 years. Chairman Roy Peires says, “George has done a fantastic job here in the UK developing new and sustainable marketing programmes that have consistently delivered results. I have every confidence that his thorough and astute knowledge of the business will pay huge dividends in the very exciting Russian marketplace.” Previously Robertson was Sales and Marketing Director with Thurnham Leisure Ltd.

Claire Westhead has a wealth of industry experience having joined LSI - which became Signature and then Sunterra (now Diamond Resorts) - 19 years ago. Former managing director of Prime Overseas Property, a CLC subsidiary, she now joins the parent company to head up special projects for the UK sales and marketing division.

Ms. Westhead commented, “No-one in the industry can have missed Club La Costa’s very impressive and dynamic development. To become fully involved in this leading European business is a challenge I’m really looking forward to. What appeals most is that Club La Costa is a company that really delivers what it sells and does so to such a high quality standard”.

Eran Revivo, UK Director of Sales and Marketing, added, “Club La Costa is always searching for proven industry talent and in Claire we have someone to help consolidate and improve our standing across all our operations.”
