Our Team

Scott’s career started in the kitchens as a teenager. Quickly progressing and working in management for an international hotel company by the age of 22,  he left to pursue his own business.  He started Cru in 2009, and hasn’t looked back since.  As well as managing the teams and businesses, he sits on the board of three local charities and provides mentorship and advice to budding entrepreneurs.

Early into this industry, I developed a huge interest in cocktails, flavours, brands, and the romance that comes along with it all!  That, along with the actual front-facing service element of hospitality have always been the rewarding parts for me. These days, I look after elements of the group as a whole, such as the liquid side of the business, marketing, event planning, cost control, financial analysis, training, tech support, and business development. And I love it.

 

I started as head chef with Cru 13 years ago when there was only 1 site, I have worked my way up to Operations Director and have been in that role for the last 6 years managing and running 7 sites. My role is to bridge the gap between directors and the team, I generally try to be a “fixer” where possible. I am driven by new experiences and by the potential growth of the business.
