The food, drink and hospitality industries have been constant threads throughout my working life since I entered the wine trade in 1984. I have evolved marketing, production and management skills whilst working within private and public organisations, as well as my own award-winning food manufacturing businesses which supplied high end outlets such as Harrods, Waitrose, Gleneagles Hotel and a range of celebrity chef owned restaurants.Today I specialise in helping owner managed food and drink companies grow. Skilled in building high profile and award winning brands with a reputation for top quality and professionalism, I bring clients a focus and attention to resolving marketing, production and system issues within their artisan businesses. Living in Scotland and being surrounded by fantastic food and drink producers, locations and experiences, I have built on this knowledge to launch Secret Menu Scotland. This company offers unique experiences across the country through unlocking the contacts and locations acquired over a thirty year involvement with exclusive Scottish talent and businesses.Specialties: • In depth knowledge of the artisan food industry• Product development, launch and marketing• Project management – within time and budget• Food and menu development• Event and Restaurant management• Small event and off-site catering• Developing and delivering bespoke Scottish experiences
