I come from a background in retail management, but I have always had an interest in food. After joining the butchery I became inspired by Balcaskies whole carcass butchery approach and pasture fed livestock.

Now fully qualified, I enjoy the interaction with customers – both retail and wholesale – sharing the passion for the benefits and quality of Pasture For Life Assured and Organic Certified meat.

I look forward to continuing to develop my knowledge and skills whilst being able to create new products using Fife's seasonal produce.

I joined in June 2025 from fine dining restaurant management. I am now a qualified craft butcher having completed my Level 2 Craft butchery course.

5 years in fine dining restaurants allowed me to develop my passion for top-class food and its origins.

Working at Balcaskie allows me to be part of the whole process, from seeing the animals in the field, to recommending the best cut for the customers knowing the animals have been looked after and cared for at every stage.

I joined the butchery in April 2026 and have already learnt so much. Becoming a part of the team at Bowhouse is giving me the opportunity to see the steps it takes from rearing the animals on the estate straight through to whole carcass butchery.

Coming from a hospitality background, it feels great to be part of a team that feels so passionate about food. Having been a customer of the butchery for several years, it is great to see how far the butchery has developed and I hope I can help further contribute to the team.

I am looking forward to gaining my butchery qualifications and bringing some of my chef experience into the butchery.
