“Recognising the unique talents and skills that autistic people can bring to the table, and the benefits that a neurodiverse workforce has on our guests and our business, I look forward to working closely with Scottish Autism to understand how we can do more to include autistic people in the hospitality industry.”

Colin, an Account Director at OCS with nearly 25 years’ experience in construction and facilities management, leads a major Government TFM contract and champions autism understanding while supporting Scottish Autism’s fundraising efforts.
“I have a young son who is autistic and see first-hand the challenges the autistic community face daily. I have had to advocate strongly to have his wonderfully unique needs met in a world that is largely not designed for the autistic mind. I’m humbled by the great work of Scottish Autism and the knowledge and understanding they have.”
