Thistle Glasgow appoints Billy Campbell as executive chef

Billy Campbell

Thistle Hotels has announced the appointment of Billy Campbell as executive chef for its centrally-located Glasgow property that has only recently benefited from a £1.2 million refurbishment.

Campbell brings a wealth of experience, built up over his 40 years in the hotel and leisure industry.

Prior to joining Thistle, he was executive chef at the five star Fairmont St Andrews hotel where he was responsible for leading a team to transform the culinary offering for its customers.

Mark Gallagher, general manager, Thistle Glasgow, commented: "We are delighted to welcome Billy on board as our Executive Chef. Thistle Glasgow has a long-standing reputation as one of the finest meeting and event venues in the city and we believe our customers deserve the very highest standard of food and service on offer. With Billy's wealth of experience and proven track record, we're confident that he'll continue to raise the profile of the hotel within the region following our investment - we are looking forward to welcoming both existing and new customers to sample the food quality."

Campbell works closely with education in the 'Adopt a School' project and is excited at the prospect of being involved in similar initiatives that Thistle Glasgow has established over the years.

He has a great passion to raise awareness of the training and development opportunities that are on offer to help young people consider a future career in the industry.
