RUARI MCCULLOCH
Creative Director
Having studied Law at university, Ruari soon tired of the paperwork and trained as a chef working for Le Gavroche. A few years later he moved to Event planning and worked for a number of the best party planners and catering companies in the world organising everything from lunches for Royalty on the Cutty Sark to corporate dinners for 500 at the Natural History Museum. After years of using florists on events, he fell in love with all things floral (but not the early mornings!) and started Pinstripes and Peonies.
