The Experience, which is Scotland’s first and only electric go-karting arena, has chosen leisure and hospitality industry specialist Gerry Ross to head up the VisitScotland 5-star attraction.

Having begun his career at just 15 years old as a kitchen assistant pot washer, Gerry forged his career working for large hotel groups such as IHG, MacDonald Hotels and Hallmark Hotels before reaching the position of Operations Director.

Gerry said: “This position is a different type of hospitality role for me and, because The Experience is part of the fantastic social enterprise Kibble, helps me to achieve a higher level of job satisfaction by training and developing others to achieve work skills to help them in their future lives.

“I have a number of new ideas that will complement the amazing go-kart and laser tag experiences that are already enjoyed by those who visit.  Added to that we also have a conference centre that gives local corporate businesses the ideal venue with excellent facilities and teambuilding activities.  It’s a very exciting time to have joined such an amazing organisation.”
