Number 30 has exciting news! Welcome to the team Shaun. I look forward to working alongside side you with Huntly Development Trust.

Yes, the rumours are true! We are delighted to confirm that Shaun McWilliam is taking on the role as Head Chef at Number 30.

Shaun has hit the ground running and we’re really looking forward to him developing the food aspect of Number 30.

To get us started let’s get to know Shaun a little better with one of our interviews.

Let’s get started. Introduce yourself and tell us about your new role at HDT?
🍽️ “Hi, I’m Shaun McWilliam. I'm originally from Huntly and I've just returned to the area after being away for a few years working in a number of reputable places. I'm glad to have taken on the role as Head Chef at Number 30.”

What’s the central focus of your role right now?
🍽️ “At the moment it’s early days! This is a first for me starting a place up from a blank canvas. At the moment I’m working with Nicola Baird getting the admin and legislation in place so that I can deliver a high quality operation and literally get bums on seats! I want to make the cafe and food at Number 30 a destination not just for Huntly but for the hospitality sector.”

Why does this matter to you?
🍽️ “I'm well focused and high-standard driven guy. I have a lot of professionalism not just for myself but for every person, business, or organisation I have been a part of.
I always want the very best for wherever I work. Being a local loon the town is important to me and I want Huntly to be able to offer more variety. I want to work with local suppliers and other food outlets in the town and have a unified approach to truly get the best for Huntly.”

What do you love about Huntly?
🍽️ “It’s where I have my roots and my family are here. I grew up here and I always wanted to come back and make a difference. It’s good to be back!”

What do you do for fun?
🍽️ “I'm a mad football fanatic a lot of people in town would probably disagree with my choice of but I'm a massive Celtic supporter. With my career I don't really make many of the games (chefs don’t get much time off at the weekend!) Apart from football I like going out for a good scran and have always done loads of walking and enjoying our countryside and scenery.”

Eek, I'm getting excited for my day out tomorrow. Giving back to the community by lending a hand. Who can guess where I'm gonna be.......🧐

Could you free up time monthly to help others in your community ? Demand for the minibus and drivers is growing. If you’re aged between 26 and 70, have a clean licence and have held your licence for more than two years we’d love to hear from you. Full training will be provided. If you have the D1 entitlement on your driving licence already then that’s a bonus but not essential as it can be applied for.
For more information or to express an interest please drop in and have a chat with Jo at the Travel Hub or email [email protected]
