Roger studied broadcasting at Aberdeen College but joined the family business in 2000 when the team urgently needed a van driver! He went on to spend time working in every Waverley department to build up an encyclopaedic knowledge of the business and sector before becoming co-owner with sister Kirsty in 2015.
Roger is married with two sons and two dogs who keep him fit, as does hill walking and going to the gym.
Kirsty is a music graduate from the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama, but in 2009 she returned to Aberdeen to join the family business. She began her journey in the stores, managing orders and gaining in-depth knowledge of Waverley’s extensive product range. With a strong background in retail, she went on to become co-owner alongside her brother Roger in 2015.
Outside of work, Kirsty is a keen hillwalker and stays busy at home with her two young children and their dog, Ralph.
Johnny has been with Waverley since 2009 and delivers orders to clients across the north-east of Scotland. He loves his job and is often heard singing as he goes about his work. He is a devoted grandad who spends much of his time away from work with his grandchildren. Jonny is also a first-class darts player and enjoys watching football.
Chris joined Waverley in 2011 and has 12 years’ experience in the cutting tool sector.
He knows the business inside out and as a project engineer is a key link with Waverley’s clients who look to him for guidance and view him as an extra member of their own teams.
Away from work, Chris enjoys spending time with his wife on their allotment. They are both passionate gardeners and enjoy growing a wide range of vegetables. Chris is also well known for his home-brewed wines and beers.
Ross Davie has been a valuable member of the Waverley team since 2021. With 20 years of experience in Cutting Tool Sales, Ross was hired to drive new business development across Glasgow and the Central Belt. He’s passionate about promoting and implementing top-notch cutting tools and workshop equipment, always dedicated to reducing manufacturing costs and boosting profitability for his customers. Outside of work, Ross enjoys spending time with his wife and kids, cycling, fly fishing, hill walking, and anything that comes in a pint glass!
Greg brings a wealth of diverse experience to the Waverley team. Greg honed his skills in building and managing restaurants before transitioning into the engineering sector, which equips him with a sharp eye for efficiency and innovation. At Waverley, Greg is focused on enhancing operational efficiency, drawing on his successful track record in both hospitality management and implementing management systems in a machine shop environment. Outside of work, Greg enjoys spending quality time with his family, fishing and the outdoors
Jo joined Waverley Cutting Tools in 2022, starting out in the stores where she learned the fundamentals of the business and looked after the ordering of consignment stock for customers. She later moved into the office, gaining experience across sales and administration and becoming involved in many different aspects of the day-to-day running of the business.
With a background in finance, it was perhaps a natural progression for Jo’s role to become more finance-focused. These days, she mainly looks after credit control, accounts payable and banking, while still getting involved in just about anything else that needs doing around the office!
Outside of work, Jo enjoys walking, listening to music, and spending quality time with her partner, Matt, and their two teenage sons.
