Andrew Simpson - "The Boss"
The main man who started it all. Andrew founded Classic Scotland Ltd way back in 1996. With many year's experience in the industry he spotted a gap in the market to bring together all the privately owned hotels. The company has since grown year on year to become what it is today. All his hard work in the past means he can now spend more time on the golf course than in the office!
