October 08, 2020 Episode #3 - Howard Boyle - From Brighton To Ibiza
Howard Boyle is a long-standing Ibiza resident who owns a successful 5* concierge service on the island called Ibiza Unlocked.
We discuss his antics from when he first landed on the island in the late '90s with his "Helvis" tribute act that saw him go on tour with Jamiroquai & Fatboy Slim, being part of the infamous & legendary brand Manumission then up to the present day with his business Ibiza Unlocked.
Over the years Howard has looked after the likes of under the radar billionaires, Queen drummer Roger Taylor and David Holmes - the man who created the film scores for Ocean’s 11, 12 & 13.
Howard's wild tales during the height of hedonism on the white isle bring some real humour during these uncertain times, and he also provides invaluable advice to those who are considering venturing to Ibiza for work. There are also some wise words in here for anyone running a business as we talk about networking, building contacts, maintaining relationships with longevity, and what makes him stand out in such a competitive market.
