Samujana.
Samujana was established by Howard Bilton and Steve Hayward, two well known
and respected lawyers and business men with considerable experience of
living and working in Asia... some 35 years between them (old gits for
sure!). Howard is Chairman of the Sovereign Group... see
www.sovereigngroup.com, who are coordinating the legals, accounting and
other administrative matters (that is what they do!). Steve is Chairman
and founder of Indo China Assets, the company who established the now
legendary FCC Bar/Restaurant/Hotels in Cambodia ...see www.fcccambodia.com
He was also a partner for many years in Asia with a leading City of London
law firm.
Having purchased the land (some 38 Rai) over a continuous period from 1993
to 2003, Howard and Steve decided to finally begin the construction of a
contemporary yet sensitive home. With considerable interest shown
from friends and associates alike, as well as FCC to manage the residences
when complete they determined to develop the complete site, in three gentle
and calculated phases over a period of 4 years... 2 of which have gone.
Although both Howard and Steve have some experience of developing houses and
resorts (Cambodia, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Spain and Australia), they realized
from the outset that well respected consultants would be required. To that
end, Gary Fell, architect and Four Seasons Bali and FCC Ankor Wat fame,
Kevin Fahey, builder/project manager and Chiva Som fame, Warnes,
civil engineering and design
(and
too many projects to name) fame, were engaged and with Samujana to became the
Team. Results speak for themselves with Villa 7 complete and Villas 6 and 8
3/4 complete.
