Forever Great is all about driving businesses forward, but before we dive into that, here's a little about me.
I've been helping businesses across Scotland grow and succeed since 2005. In 2017, after years of experience across multiple business disciplines, and increasing demand for strategic expertise within this business executive / marketing space, I founded Forever Great. Simply put—it was time. With two decades of vast business experience across retail, education, and economic development, I've worked with a wide range of diverse organisations, helping them define their vision and bring their ambitions to life with energy and pace. As a recognised marketer and senior business strategist, I understand what it takes to build and sustain success. I hold a BA in Business Management and a Postgraduate in Further Education. Beyond that, I'm the former, President at the Ayrshire Chamber of Commerce, and Chair and Ambassador for Cash for Kids West. No matter the role, my focus is always on encouraging businesses to develop, innovate, and adopt the mindset needed to be Forever Great. I live in Irvine with my wife, Claire, our kids, Dylan and Afton, and Eve, our French bulldog. At the weekend, I'm likely to be on the stage with the band, Angelstar - whom I've been performing with for over 20 years.
