Success Stories

Duncan’s expertise and professionalism in the hospitality world are to put it simply, unmatched. Having the pleasure to work with Duncan at MasterChef the TV experience in Dubai, I realized that his power is not just in his experience but in the way he affects people. Bringing the best out of everyone he comes in contact with.

Duncan is a truly kind and approachable leader. He has extensive experience in the hospitality industry spanning more than 2 decades in large hospitality groups internationally. My experience with Duncan as part of my residency in MasterChef the TV Experience restaurant Dubai was an unforgettable one.

A world first restaurant experience, Duncan says, ‘why not’?! He literally brought together MasterChef contestants from around the world so we could be face to face, fork to fork, with the people who make TV possible, the passionate foodie viewers.

From the outset Duncan was a valuable founding Member of The Global Restaurant Investment Forum.  His connections and enthusiasm were crucial to the growth of the event.  Duncan was a key figure in driving the development of Dubai’s restaurant scene to the next level

The talented people who worked with Duncan on bringing MasterChef, the TV Experience to fruition, the project managers, photographers, former contestants of the show, and the brand licensing executives would not hesitate to work with Duncan again.

Duncan’s love for what he does, his ability to jump on a plane and demonstrate how such a TV inspired restaurant can come to life, made the whole endeavour feel risk and hassle free
