ANDREW SCOTT, OWNER, VICTUS CONSULTANCY

Judges

Andrew Scott has lived and breathed catering and hospitality since the tender age of 13, when he started out as a humble kitchen porter. He earned his stripes in the industry by working for 15 years in a variety of hotels and restaurants throughout Scotland and further afield.

Today Andrew owns a number of awardwinning catering companies, as well as Victus, a specialist catering and hospitality consultancy, and is fast becoming a popular figure on the speaking, presenting and judging circuit.

If that weren’t enough, he also has his own hospitality radio show, and is a regular guest presenter on STV’s Live at 5.

With provenance and quality being key values of his Heaven Scent catering business, Andrew has long shone a light on the very best food and drink that Scotland has to offer. He makes abundant use of Scotland’s larder, with many of the products and suppliers he uses coming from Tayside. Through Victus, Andrew helps, supports and guides catering and hospitality companies to achieve excellence through their people, food and beverage offering, and customer service.

Eminently qualified and delighted to be invited to judge The Menu Food and Drink Awards, Andrew says: “I look forward to meeting inspiring people, tasting quality produce and discovering innovative businesses.”
