Overview
Following a successful career in contract catering (operations and sales) I moved into the public sector at the time of competitive tendering. This allowed me to help develop what became Europe’s largest public sector caterer with a turnover of £80m. My move to Glasgow City Council in 1995 allowed me to expand and diversify into new and exciting markets such as FM and Care Services. I’m seen as an innovative people person with strong interpersonal and business skills. Industry recognition has followed business success:
Catey – Foodservice category
Cost Sector Catering – Education award
Catering Forum – One to Watch
Catering in Scotland – Lifetime Excellence
I’m a strong supporter of industry bodies and charities, including:
Past Chairman – Springboard Scotland
Hon Secretary and Trustee – Hospitality Industry Trust Scotland
Board Member – International Leadership School
