A man has ditched his high-flying job as director of a large restaurant chain after finding true love in a Merseyside seaside town.
Richard Fergie, from Stirling, helped to build award-winning restaurant chain, Monteray Jack’s, which is one of the most recognised food brands in Scotland. Despite picking up a host of accolades in his role overseeing more than 150 staff at 12 different sites, the fast-paced corporate world meant Richard had little time to eat and sleep.
He said: “To everyone looking in, life was great for me and I was smashing it as director of a big well known hospitality brand but what they didn’t see was the stress that brings. Monteray Jack’s exploded as a business and with that quickly came dealing with thousands of customers every week, over 150 staff, financial pressures and even a fire at one of the sites.”
