Ned joined Coconuts Beach Club in 1996 and has helped oversee its development to its present position as one of Samoa's premier upscale resorts, including garnering accolades such as "the country's best restaurant", "the most delightful rooms in Samoa", and a spot among the top 50 hotels in the world in the London Sunday Times.

Detailed description of the Caring for the Destination Initiative:

We believe in providing a richer travel experience for our guests through our commitment in supporting local suppliers, benefiting the surrounding community, and preserving the area's culture.  We prefer using locally grown and environmentally friendly products so visitors can gain a better understanding of what makes the local area special.  We also believe in developing and training our staff, so that locals gain increased skills from their employment, and can better help our guests with their local knowledge.
