Alston, who worked as buildings and project manager for Belhaven, played a crucial role in the expansion of pubs, restaurants and hotels for the group besides being responsible for procuring and managing refurbishments.

Michael Dunn, managing director of Dunn, said, “Angus is a major asset to our burgeoning operation, we regard our recruitment of Angus from such a successful operation as Belhaven as a major coup which will boost greatly our presence in the pub trade throughout the UK.”

Angus has an extensive knowledge of all aspects of the licensed leisure industry, both in terms of the operational requirements of planning any bar, restaurant or hotel, through to the management skills for procuring any major development and, as such, brings with him a tremendous wealth of talent to Dunn’s, he said.

The Dunn Interior Design company provides redesigns, refurbishments and new build developments in style bars, pubs, restaurants and hotels.
