Having worked as executive director for food, restaurants and online at Selfridges, Ewan has an eye for luxury food brands and ensuring they reach wider than the usual suspects.Food has always been Ewan’s enthusiasm and it’s where he has spent his entire career.

From a young age, growing up in his beloved Fife, Scotland, his ambition was to be a baker – he even started his own business delivering bread rolls and cakes at the age of 11 – but opted for food retail instead.It’s not only his keen eye for product but Ewan also knows how to cook up a PR storm. He initiated stunts such as Selfridges’ £85 sandwich, which was the most expensive in the world and contained Wagyu beef, truffles and fois gras.
