He told the Herald: “Approaching 40, it felt like it was time for me to build my own business after doing it successfully for other people. My thoughts turned to actions and I began to seriously look for an opportunity.
“It was an unexpected stroke of luck that I came across an advert for the dilapidated Little Chef for sale in Tyndrum.
“My original plan was to open an artisan bakery and upmarket coffee shop but 20 years ago, my bank manager strongly advised me that Highland Scotland was not ready for that and that if I wanted to make it work, I should open a fish and a chip shop in Tyndrum
“That was quite a departure from what I had in mind but it felt like advice I couldn’t ignore. I created a menu with fish and chips at the heart of their offering and I’m so glad we did; I have never regretted it.
“What great advice.”
