Raised locally at Kirkton of Premnay, near Insch, William studied Engineering at Robert Gordon`s University in Aberdeen. 

 

Having known since a young age that he was destined to be a restaurateur, he spent 10 years working as a barman, waiter, Head Waiter, Assistant Manager, and latterly as the General Manager for The Olive Tree Group in Aberdeen. Having worked his way up the ladder, the next step was to create somewhere of his own.  William has worked all over Scotland, including 3 years spent at the Glen Garry Castle Hotel on the West Coast, however his home town was the obvious choice and in October 2006 William opened the doors to his very own restaurant in Inverurie town centre.
