‘ VOUS LIFE FOUNDATION ’
Discover more
In memory of and inspired by Hugo van Berckel, the Vous Life Foundation will be developed in communities where Vous Hotels & Retreats is situated.
Hugo was described by many as ‘an adventurer’, with a great love for nature. During his early teens he had a great interest in birds and ornithology, and he subsequently travelled the world, mainly in Africa and Asia, with family and friends. He was a keen sportsman, climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, and had interests including marathon running and an endless love for watersports and sailing.
Hugo’s life was about having a positive impact on people and he inspired them with his energy and enthusiasm. Even though he was busy as the MD - and leading the Dutch office - of private equity company CVC, he always had time for a variety of small sustainable projects in Africa and elsewhere.
