My Bio

I am 52 and my career started as a musician with the Royal Marines Band. When I left the band I went into retail with my brother for a couple of years. I then moved on to be branch manager of the local Victoria Wine branch. I learnt a lot of skills working witha national company and really enjoyed my time there. I acquired professional wine qualifications too. After 4 years an opportunity arose to buy my own shop. It was a newspaper, convenience store. I spent 15 years as the owner. In that time I totally re-fitted the shop out, installed a new computer system and brought in a lot of new services to make sure I was equipped for the 21st century.
After 15 long but fulfilling years I decided I needed a change.
After a lot of research I decided to go into the luxury tourism market. I have a big advantage living in the Scottish Highlands, and I wanted to give guests the ultimate experience.
I am now into my third year and am pleased with progress.
