About Chris

Chris joined us in May 2025 as our new Product Development Chef. He brings with him over 30 years of experience, covering a wide range of industries including entertainment, education and banking, as well as working in and managing restaurants throughout Scotland.

Initially leaving school to become a mechanic, Chris took his first steps into catering at the age of 19, where he took the opportunity to work in the same local restaurant as his mother and sister. From there, Chris worked across many local independent restaurants, learning the skills that have taken him across the country in various exciting roles. 

From independent restaurants to large contract catering, Chris understands the challenges that chefs face daily and will play an important role in our product development process as we continue to design equipment that meets the real-world needs of professional kitchens.

Career Highlights:

• Head Chef at SECC in Glasgow, mainly in the busy Clydebuilt Restaurant at the time of The Hydro opening. Catering for big events such as the Commonwealth Games, Ryder Cup Gala Dinner, MTV Music Awards, and many more.
• Head Chef at Stirling University, managing and overseeing 11 different catering and hospitality units across the 100-acre campus.
• Group Executive Chef for Scotland and North England with the RBS and Natwest Group, based at Gogarburn with BaxterStorey, creating and delivering exciting menus for events.

In his new role, Chris is looking forward to working with our product development engineers and helping to create the best and most efficient equipment for end users.
