Robbie Singer

In June 2011 Robbie Singer became the Club’s fourth Paul Harris Fellow. Born in Ellon, and educated at Banchory Academy, he worked his way upwards in the meat industry. He became Assistant Plant Manager for Aberdeen Premier Meats and in that capacity was involved in the early development of vacuum packing for meat. He was a founder member of Banchory and District Round Table.  He moved to Perth in 1972 and joined Round Table. In 1987 he purchased the firm of Rattray, Butchers in High Street and refurbished the firm to the extent that it became a member of the prestigious Q Guild of Butchers. This elite group has only 140 members in the United Kingdom. After selling this business in 1994, he joined Simon Howie as a consultant. 

Having joined the Rotary Club of Perth in 1994, he first became Secretary in 1998-99 and with only two short gaps has held the post to the present day. Successive Presidents have been indebted to him for the capable support and guidance which he has provided and it would be fair to say that the success and well-being of the Club during his tenure of office owes much to his competent stewardship. The award of the Paul Harris Fellowship recognised how much the Club is indebted to him.
