I love who I get introduced to as part of the Podcast. Todays guest represents that.
I chat to Stephen Carter OBE, one of Scotland’s most legendary hoteliers. For someone whose career has spanned over 40 years, you can imagine we get through a lot including:-
- East Neuk
- Untrue reputations
- Scottish seafood
- Humble beginnings
- Picking up accents
- Rejecting the Seychelles
- Holiday Inn
- Moving to Scotland
- The Motivated Team
- The Tobacco Patch
- Buying the rights to Le Man
- Cars
- Setting aside time to dream
- Integrating locally
- The East coast path
- New opening foibles
- State of the art fire alarm systems
- Making the best of a bad situation
- Entertaining the King of Jordan
- The OBE
And so much more. Stephen is an absolutely legend and is very open with some cracking stories throughout.
Enjoy!
