Angus is an award-winning writer, photographer, researcher and content creator with an expertise in the artisan food & drink sector. He also works as a freelance curator, editor of the award-winning Our Isles and events host. He is a member of the Guild of Food Writers and a cheese judge at the World Cheese Awards run by the Guild of Fine Foods. 

​

Angus is renowned for his multi-award nominated A Portrait of British Cheese (Quadrille Books), which was longlisted in the esteemed André Simon Awards, nominated as Best Debut Food Book in the Fortnum & Mason’s Food & Drink Awards and included in the Financial Times, The Independent and BBC Food Programme's Books of the Year.

​

Angus started out his career in the food and drink industry as a food producer in Wales, creating artisan products based on seasonal and foraged ingredients. Founding the food company in 2015, The Bridge Lodge, the business went on to be multi award-winning for both their products and sustainability in the first couple of years, Angus voted in Business Wales Top 30 People Under 30. As the food company grew, Angus travelled across the UK to numerous farmers markets, national food shows and festivals, showcasing their products and building a deeper knowledge of the food and drink scene in the UK.

​

With a new thirst to learn about food and farming, Angus worked with Farms to Feed Us, a platform that campaigned for better food and farming standards. In 2018, Angus moved to start work under Patrick Holden at the Sustainable Food Trust in Bristol. There, Angus’s knowledge of food and farming and sustainability grew. He wrote articles, researched and published creative content on the SFT’s new research and policy work.

From then on, Angus has been deeply intertwined in the food and drink and farming industries, working at another food and farming organisation called Pasture for Life for a few years, establishing strong connections to many leading food producers and farmers.

 

Alongside his work in food and farming organisations, Angus’s passion to conserve the natural environment led him to establish Our Isles, an award-winning creative platform that explores and celebrates the artistry of rural life in Britain and Ireland, through its food & drink, arts, culture, nature and landscape. Our Isles narrates remarkable food and drink producers, publishes in-depth articles, supports artists inspired by the rural environment, curates award-winning exhibitions, and so much more.

​

Angus continues to travel across Britain and Ireland to support and narrate exceptional food and drink producers, focusing much on our artisan cheesemakers. He also hosts various events from cheese talks to supper clubs.

​

Angus currently works with Le Chameau and has worked with a number of organisations and companies including: Arts Council England, Arts Council of Wales, UK Parliament, Fortnum & Mason, Sustainable Food Trust, The Food Museum, Nature-Friendly Farming Network, Pipers Farm, Pasture for Life, the Countryside Charity, People’s Trust for Endangered Species, Glebe House, Wild By Nature, among many others. He has also published a collection of poetry called Our Isles with Pavilion Books.
