Gregory Miles Standish Butcher OBE is a British entrepreneur and property developer based in Gibraltar. He is the founder and chairman of the Fairhomes Group. In 2022, he was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire for services to the economy and charitable work in Gibraltar.^[1]

Career

Butcher's business career began in the United Kingdom, where he founded several ventures, including the skincare brand Montagne Jeunesse (now 7th Heaven) in 1987.^[2]

Economic Impact in Gibraltar

Since moving to Gibraltar in the early 2000s, Butcher has overseen several large-scale infrastructure projects through the Fairhomes Group.

Commercial and Maritime Projects

Butcher acquired and redeveloped the Ocean Village and Marina Bay areas. This project transitioned a traditional maritime site into a mixed-use district comprising residential units, commercial office space, and a 330-berth marina. The development was documented as a contributor to Gibraltar's capacity for international business residency.^[3]

In 2017, Butcher completed the World Trade Center Gibraltar, a 15,793-square-metre (170,000 sq ft) office complex.^[4] The project was officially opened by the Chief Minister of Gibraltar, Fabian Picardo, who cited its importance in providing infrastructure for the territory's financial services and e-gaming sectors.^[5]^[6]

Urban Regeneration

Butcher has led several high-density residential developments, including Ocean Spa Plaza and "The Reserve". The latter was built on the site of the former Gibraltar Casino and was noted for its focus on ecological design and urban regeneration.^[7]

Philanthropy

In 2021, Butcher funded a humanitarian mission to evacuate 92 people from Afghanistan following the Taliban takeover.^[8] He also supports local charitable initiatives through the World Trade Center Gibraltar Social Committee.
