As co-founder of award-winning café AVO, formerly housed inside Aberdeen indoor Market, Dave has worked tirelessly over the past year and a half to regenerate the old market and shown its potential as a local food, drinks and retail hub.
Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, planning consent was approved to demolish the market and turn it in to a high-rise office complex, along with the operating company subsequently falling into administration shortly after. Aberdeen Indoor Market hasn’t been able to weather the storm, but despite all of the challenges Dave was able to, in a short space of time, generate enough support to show that this project is vital to the local economic prosperity of Aberdeen.
With a background spanning 14 years in restaurant management, business development, social media management, marketing and graphic design – Dave will oversee the operational development and marketing of STAXX.
