Randall Clement is an inspiring team member who has dedicated over 22 years to Bay Gardens Resorts, showcasing remarkable commitment and talent.

Clement began his journey with the locally-owned chain as cook. He quickly demonstrated his commitment and talent, progressing to the role of Night Chef de Partie, a supervisory position, and ultimately earning the title of Executive Sous Chef at the Bay Gardens Hotel.

When he first joined, Clement was drawn to the friendliness of the staff and the collaborative spirit among departments. Reflecting on his early days, he shared how much he appreciated the freedom he was given to create unique dishes and daily specials. This freedom fostered his creativity and love for culinary innovation, laying the foundation for his future success at Bay Gardens Resorts.

Beyond his role in the kitchen, Clement has continuously strived to improve both his skills as a chef and his personal growth. Coming from a challenging background, he speaks with pride about how far he has come, driven by his dedication to becoming a better chef and father. His family remains at the heart of his journey, motivating him daily to reach new heights in his career.

In his free time, Clement finds joy in gardening, a hobby he says brings him peace and a sense of fulfillment. He’s also a devoted father, enjoying quality time with his sons through activities like video games, fishing and sightseeing. And when he's not with his family or plants, he’s often experimenting with new dishes, inspired by his love for both the familiar and the exotic.

One of his most memorable experiences was catering a high-profile event in Saint Lucia for over 1,000 guests, where Bay Gardens Resorts was the sole caterer. The positive feedback he received from attendees still resonates with him, serving as a highlight in his career. In 2023, Clement received a Lifetime Achievement Award from Bay Gardens Resorts, an honor that speaks volumes about his impact on the team and his unwavering dedication.

Looking ahead, Clement’s goals are ambitious and inspiring. He is committed to personal growth but is equally focused on contributing to Bay Gardens Resorts' success. He envisions a future of growth and development for the entire team, underscoring his commitment to building a thriving workplace for all.

We are incredibly proud to have Clement as part of the Bay Gardens Resorts family and are excited to see the new heights he will reach in the years to come.

Zachary Peter has been an integral part of the Bay Gardens Resorts family for over 15 years.

His tenure began in the Purchasing Department, where he spent nine years serving the Bay Gardens Hotel and Bay Gardens Beach Resort. After a short break, Zach as he is affectionately known, rejoined the team as a landscaper where he contributed to the beautification of the properties for three years. Thereafter, Zach returned to the Purchasing Department as a Storeroom Attendant, a post which he still currently holds.

When asked what he enjoyed most about working at Bay Gardens Resorts, he expressed that it was the connection he shares with his colleagues. He appreciates the camaraderie and environment that fosters teamwork and mutual respect, making his daily interactions fulfilling and meaningful.

Beyond his work, he is motivated by his deep love for his family.
His driving force comes from his commitment to providing for his mother and two sons, as well as his determination to complete the construction of his home, a goal that inspires him every day. When not at work, Zachary channels his energy into his passion for farming and landscaping. These hobbies not only reflect his connection to nature but also his unwavering work ethic and dedication to cultivating something meaningful, whether in his career or personal life.

One of his proudest moments would be receiving the General Manager’s Award, in recognition of his exceptional dedication and contributions to the success of Bay Gardens Resorts. For him, this award symbolizes the value of perseverance and the importance of always giving your best.

Looking to the future, Zachary aspires to continue growing within the company and envisions himself as the Purchasing/Stores Manager.

With his extensive experience, unwavering determination, and passion for excellence, there’s no doubt he has the potential to achieve this goal and further contribute to the success of Bay Gardens Resorts. We are proud to have him as part of our team and look forward to seeing him continue to thrive and achieve his dreams.
