BORN ON THE ISLAND OF COLL, BRIAN SET OUT ON A CAREER IN HOSPITALITY QUALIFYING IN HOSPITALITY MANAGEMENT. BRIAN BEGAN HIS CATERING MANAGEMENT FOR SWALLOW HOTELS AND GAINED AS MUCH EXPERIENCE AS POSSIBLE FROM THAT COMPANY MOVING AROUND THEIR VARIOUS HOTELS AROUND THE UK AS DUTY MANAGER. HE WAS THEN OFFERED THE POSITION OF FOOD AND BEVERAGE MANAGER AT THE ALFRED MCALPINE STADIUM, HUDDERSFIELD. AFTER TWO YEARS OF SUCCESSFUL COMMITMENT, BRIAN MOVED TO HAMPDEN STADIUM AS DEPUTY GENERAL MANAGER CATERING FOR MAJOR EVENTS TOPPING 50,000 WITH PRESTIGIOUS DINING FOR 2000.

TWO YEARS OF SUCCESSFUL EVENT MANAGEMENT BROUGHT BRIAN TO THE ATTENTION OF THE UP AND COMING CATERING COMPANY, LE BISTRO, WHERE HE SECURED THE POSITION OF GENERAL MANAGER TO THE NEWLY OPENED GLASGOW SCIENCE CENTRE, HOSTING RECEPTIONS NUMBERING 2500 AND UPWARDS WITH BANQUETS FROM 100 TO 1000 FOR MAJOR EVENTS AND COMPANIES IN THE UK.

HAVING SPENT THE PAST 10 YEARS HONING HIS SKILLS IN THE CATERING INDUSTRY BRIAN WAS INVITED TO TAKE CONTROL OF THE NEWLY ESTABLISHED JOINT VENTURE OF COMPASS AND NICK NAIRN, AS GENERAL MANAGER OF NAIRN’S ANYWHERE, A UNIQUE OUTSIDE CATERING EXPERIENCE SERVICING HIGH PROFILE AND PRESTIGIOUS EVENTS IN GRAND AND UNUSUAL VENUES THROUGHOUT THE UK.

IN THE CULINARY MARKET OF TODAY, UNUSUAL AND INTERESTING VENUES PLAY A MAJOR PART OF THE SUCCESS OF AN EVENT WHETHER IT IS DINING AMONGST THE EXHIBITS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM OF SCOTLAND, BEING ENTERTAINED BY ACCLAIMED CLASSICAL MUSICIANS UNDER THE STARS, OR CELEBRATING A WEDDING IN THE SUMPTUOUS SPLENDOR OF PROPERTIES OF THE NATIONAL TRUST OF SCOTLAND.

BRIAN HAS EMBRACED THE CHALLENGE OF THE CONCEPT THAT NAIRN’S ANYWHERE MEANS EXACTLY THAT, ANYWHERE. CATERING FOR AN ALICE IN WONDERLAND THEMED WEDDING IN INVERNESS, TO MOUNT STUART ON THE ISLE OF BUTE, THE PALACE OF HOLYROOD IN EDINBURGH AND EVEN TO LONDON AT THE INVITATION OF A LARGE MULTINATIONAL. THROUGH BRIAN’S GUIDANCE AND ENTHUSIASM TO MAKE NAIRNS ANYWHERE MORE THAN A JUST CATERING COMPANY, BUT AN INTEGRAL PART OF YOUR EVENT HELPING YOU ORGANIZE YOUR THEMING, YOUR CONCEPT AND ANYTHING YOU NEED HIS EXPERTISE DEFINING. HE HAS IN THE PAST 4 YEARS OF RUNNING NAIRNS ANYWHERE THE EXPERIENCE OF SERVING ALL LEVELS OF DIGNITARIES AND CELEBRITIES AND ALSO PERSUADED FRED MACAULEY, KIRSTY WARK AND ANDREW IRVINE TO DON WAITERS UNIFORMS TO HELP SERVE AT A RECENT CHARITY DINNER IN EDINBURGH.

WHATEVER YOUR CONCEPT OF AN EVENT, BRIAN AND HIS TEAM WILL MAKE IT A SUCCESS AND MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE FOR YOU.
