Simon Backley, Owner

Simon has lived in Belize since 2000. Initially Simon lived in Indian Church at Lamanai Outpost Lodge where he helped establish Belize Expeditions and was responsible for providing custom itineraries for Virtuoso travel agents and clients. Simon’s background before arriving in Belize was 15 years of IT Management, Consulting and Business Process Management. When Simon arrived on Ambergris Caye he opened Lagniappe Provisioning, a new concept on the island at the time, the business quickly grew and the concept is now accepted as an essential service for tourists renting condominiums and villas. Simon was also involved in Yacht Charter Management for 10 years with TMM Yacht Charters, an occupation no different than Property Management other than buildings tend to stay put… TMM Yacht Charters was in dire straits when Simon and his co-manager were tasked with bringing the company back to the standards expected by the company owners, yacht owners and guests. By managing the business processes, meeting the owner and client expectations the company’s reputation and profitability were successfully restored and improved.
