Here’s our pick of some of the trade’s most eligible ladies and gents. We would’ve loved to have included more of you had we the space.
DANIELLE
MCRORIE-SMITH
Ops Manager
Castle Leisure
Stirling
We were lucky to catch Danielle for five minutes she’s that busy. She’d just jetted in from a holiday in Portugal and was spending a few days at the Castle Leisure office, the company her family owns and runs, before heading to Marbella for a few days.
Said Danielle, “I like to work hard but I also like to travel harder and we all need a little bit of sunshine in our lives now, don’t we?” Danielle started working in the trade at the age of 12 in the cloakroom of the Fubar in Stirling and 18 years on she’s still working in this industry, despite having a degree in Interior Architecture.
Danielle explained, “I can and do apply my degree to my job day to day because we are always developing and refurbishing. In fact, in 2009 the companypurchased a small boutique hotel in Dunfermline and I was asked to assist with renovations and use the project for my portfolio. Within months I quickly realised operations was my forte and became General Manager of various premises while completing my degree.”
In her free time she is either travelling or planning the next travel with her daughter, Quinn, and also manages a property letting business for Spain
and USA. “It’s all about the bucket list, I am making my way through a very detailed list and I am an adrenaline enthusiast. Last year it was Scuba
Diving, Bungee Jumps and Sky Dives. Next up I’m planning to Heli Ski.”
