Sky’s the limit for businessma­n’s plans

- Rachel Clark

Daniel Webster A Kinross-shire businessma­n is looking forward to bringing a range of new ideas to the town - including everything from hot air balloons to honey.

Daniel Webster, who grew up in Kinross, is looking to introduce a self-storage company, a hot air balloon venture and a company promoting local honey.

This comes as his company Webster Group officially started the fourth stage of its high-end property developmen­t at Gairneyban­k last week, moving on from its previous developmen­t at the Crook of Devon.

Daniel launched Webster Developmen­ts back in 2011 when he was only 19. Since then, he has built the company up, and is now looking forward to his new business moves.

He said:“We’re delighted to be at developmen­t number four with Webster Homes.

“Establishi­ng Webster Homes was a natural progressio­n from Webster Developmen­ts, it made sense to establish our own division specialisi­ng in the top end of the market.

“Gairneyban­k is a fantastic and wellsituat­ed location. Our high specificat­ion homes, which can now be reserved from plan, offer the flexibilit­y of either an additional games room or a separate apartment.

“We are confident that they will appeal strongly to our market sector of discerning buyers looking for a luxury property with a rural feel, coupled with the best commuting links possible.”

However, the Kinross-shire entreprene­ur is also looking forward to his new ventures as well.

He continued:“It’s a vibrant sector and we’re attracting attention with our bright orange signage displayed by the side of the M90 motorway just before Kinross.

“We’ve just broken ground in Kinross where we are about to build eco friendly office spaces, as there is most definitely a need for this locally.

“As for the local honey, Webster Honey now has over 178 hives all over Scotland, and promotes education about bees to youngsters.

“The honey came about when we were working out more ways to become more eco-friendly, and the need for bees emerged.

“I enjoy having many diverse platforms to develop, it keeps it fresh for me, and I believe that each sector of the Webster Group has potential, exploiting many current trends.”

And as for the hot air balloon rides, he added:“It was started as a fun opportunit­y to do something different, flying the balloon all over the world.”
