My career in the hospitality industry spans 25 years and started in my native Scotland. Many years working in London and other parts of England and Wales then followed. I look back particularly fondly on my years spent abroad, and love telling stories about my time in a huge resort in St. Kitts & Nevis, or about the years I spent in Australia working as Director of Food and Beverage at a Sofitel Hotel.

The highlight of my professional career is at the world-renowned Firmdale Hotels where I worked my way up to General Manager in the 5-star market in London.

The hotel businesses I have worked for include Marriott, Accor, Firmdale Hotels and the Leeu Collection. This has seen me involved in project work in the United States, New Zealand, Thailand, South Africa and Italy.

During my operational years, I completed many pre-opening and refurbishment assignments. I have extensive understanding of corporate culture and the eclectic design-led hospitality environment. With an education in accountancy to bring to the table, I provide a well-rounded, full-service approach to my client.

Consultancy was something that we both wanted to explore, however it was in 2018 when we moved our family to Germany that we made the leap.

I love working one to one with my clients to solve problems and develop impactful solutions.
