Scott Gillies (Finance Manager)

Scott Gillies joined the Company in November of 2009 as the Operations and Finance Manager. However with the resignation of the then Finance Director his remit changed and he now has ownership of the Finance brief. When Scott joined there was little requirement for facilities or general administrative management as we occupied serviced offices. Now however with the move to our own leased premises he now manages the facilities management portfolio, looks after all HR activities and all compliance and legislative issues.

He comes with a wealth of finance and general management experience having spent 30 years with British Gas and more recently had his own public house. He was born in Leith just across from our head office, was educated at Leith Academy and is married with two children. Among the hobbies he lists are golf, cooking, books on Scottish history and family.
