Howard Smith Wharves appoints David Finlayson as director of culinary
Brisbane’s Howard Smith Wharves has appointed David Finlayson as director of culinary.
Originally from Scotland, Finlayson will be overseeing the food and beverage offering for Felons Brewing Co., the Overwater Bar, Howard’s Hall and Rivershed events, and a yet to be named restaurant and wine bar.
Prior to his new role at Howard Smith Wharves, Finlayson was the operations manager behind Melbourne’s Chin Chin and Kisume, and was involved in the set-up of the development of Chin Chin Sydney.
“Adam Flaskas was a key player for me in this and being on the same page as to where the vision is headed,” he said.
“We are both passionate about local suppliers, local produce and a farm to plate mentality. High standards and consistency of product and service are key to me and I’m very passionate about it, having been involved in over a dozen openings, it is something I love doing and having the chance to do so again in Brisbane is very exciting to me.”
Finlayson will deliver consistent product of the highest standard across the Howard Smith Wharves precinct.
“Customers should have a consistent and exceptional dining experience from the second they step foot in the restaurant until the last spoonful of cuisine,” he said.
