Startup Grind Hosts Grant Horsfield (Founder, naked Retreats)
收起
After spending two years in Shanghai, Grant found himself
overwhelmed missing the natural beauty of his home. From this
desire sprouted the concept for naked Retreats, which was launched
in 2007. Grant has since applied the naked concept and his team's
branding and design expertise to an array of new businesses,
ranging from naked Castle and naked Bite to our host and Shanghai's
newest co-working space naked Hub.
当高天成(Grant Horsfield)在上海度过两年后,
Grant’s vision is to create sanctuaries that are in harmony with
the environment, where people can appreciate the simple way of
nature and embrace the naked Lifestyle. Grant’s tireless efforts in
promoting eco-tourism in the rural areas has created jobs and pride
for the local community. He received an environmental award from
the Huzhou Government in 2008, and naked Stables received numerous
design and sustainability awards internationally since opening in
2011.
高天成的愿景是创造一种人与自然和谐的氛围,
Before coming to China in 2005, Grant worked in England and South
Africa with more than 10 years’ business ownership experience. With
a background in IT, he launched e-Bites Limited in 2000. Operating
nationally, e-Bites was both a publishing company and a call-centre
facilitations company with headquarters based in Cape Town. In
2004, Grant received an MBA from University of Cape Town Graduate
School of Business. Upon graduation, he decided to come to China,
as he saw China is where business opportunities
lie.
在来到中国之前,高天成一直在英国和南非工作,
