Stewart Walker

Stewart founded BTS in 2001 following a successful career in hospitality and tourism. Stewart’s career has taken him from Edinburgh to Los Angeles and back again. Along the way he’s worked in some of the world’s finest 4 and 5 star hotels including Edinburgh’s iconic Caledonian Hotel and LA’s St James Club. Stewart combined his expertise and passion for the industry with his financial, analytical and business skills to found Business Tourism Solutions (BTS). When not working to grow the business, you are likely to find Stewart either on the ski slopes, playing golf, or cooking a stonebaked Pizza in his wood burning oven.
