Explore ↗I'm Steuart Fotheringham, Managing Director of ALPS Consultancy. With deep expertise in health, food, and fire safety, I work exclusively with hospitality businesses — because this industry has compliance needs that generic consultants simply don't understand.
Based in Kilmarnock, I support golf clubs, hotels and restaurants across Scotland and the wider UK, acting as your outsourced health and safety department at a fraction of the cost of in-house resource.

Steuart completely transformed our food safety documentation. Our EHO inspection went without a single issue — we achieved a 5-star hygiene rating for the first time. Cannot recommend ALPS highly enough.
As a boutique hotel we needed someone who really understood our operation. Steuart's knowledge of legionella, COSHH and fire procedures is exceptional. He handles everything so we can focus on our guests.
Our allergen documentation was a complete mess before ALPS stepped in. Now it's watertight and our whole team is trained. The piece of mind this gives us is genuinely invaluable.

From the greenkeeper's store to the 19th hole, we keep your club compliant, your staff safe, and your members confident.
Book an Exploratory DiscussionA golf club is effectively multiple businesses in one: a food service operation in the clubhouse, a chemical handling environment in the greenkeeper's shed, a licensed premises, and a venue for member events — all with different compliance obligations.
Most generalist H&S consultants miss the nuances. ALPS Consultancy works exclusively in hospitality, which means we understand golf club operations inside out.
These are the issues we most frequently find when auditing golf clubs for the first time:
"ALPS handled our entire COSHH and food safety programme. The peace of mind is genuinely priceless — especially heading into inspection season."
