Fraser Paterson

http://www.lothianlife.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/Fraser-Paterson.jpg Fraser is 39 years of age, and has experience in many fields, including financial services, where he used to run his own business as an Independent Financial Adviser. In his leisure time he was formerly a senior member of Round Table, and Vice Chairman of the Scottish Disabled Golf Partnership (www.sdgp.co.uk). He is also a fully qualified golf referee, and currently writes a regular blog, containing articles predominantly about golf across Scotland, various less well known charities in the Lothians, and snooker. It can be found at http://fraserpat1972.blogspot.com Reverting to the business front, Fraser successfully set up and established a strong networking group of small business owners, drawn from across the Lothians, with the assistance of the Scotland South and East franchise owners of Business Network International (mainly known as BNI). Fraser was awarded Member of the Year for his Chapter at the Scottish Awards in 2004, the recipient for which is chosen by fellow members in recognition of outstanding contribution. Aside from golf and snooker Fraser also enjoys excellent food, both in cooking it for himself and his good lady wife, but also enjoying it in eateries across the Lothians. He also likes to write and thought it a very good idea to combine the two.
