The British Virgin Islands’ Scrub Island Resort has named a new general manager.

The hotel has also named Scott Vogel as its new executive chef; Vogel comes to the property from IAT Consulting Group in St Petersburg, Fla.

“Both Federico and Scott have extensive experience in delivering the highest standards of service and guest satisfaction at high-end hotels and restaurants, and will make welcome additions to our executive team on island,” said Juli Corlew, Scrub Island Resort managing director.

The resort is located on a 230-acre private island in the BVI.
