WHY:1875
Our origin is food...
Queen Margaret University was originally known as the Edinburgh School of Cookery, founded in 1875 by Christian Guthrie Wright and Louisa Stevenson. Being the forerunner in the cookery revolution that today employs 280 thousand catering professionals in Scotland, and many more worldwide. It’s for this reason that we believe that the catering department within the University should celebrate the heritage and contribution that the school brought to our industry.
We, like the University also have our origins based around food and developing people. The Universities journey over the centuries resonates with our founders Alastair Storey and William Baxter who, like the Universities founders, have built our reputation as a business that promotes a fresh food ethos and strives to put the skill back into our business.
It’s for this reason we share with you the strapline and view this as being a mutual statement for both parties.
