William Frame is founder and Managing Director of Braemore Estates and has over 40 years of experience within the property industry.
William left school in 1976 to work in his father’s textile business. In 1980, William left the business and moved to Edinburgh to work with Slater, Hogg and Howison and by 1982, he was running the Portobello Branch.
He returned to the family business in 1988 and realigned the business to focus on property development. During the next 30 years at Braemore Estates, William has successfully grown the business and overseen the development of over 275 properties.
Outwith property development, William has successfully developed and grown a number of businesses, including Braemore Property Management which he sold to Lomond Capital in 2011 and Cromars Fish and Chip Shop. Cromars was an award-winning business from 2013 to 2018, when he relinquished his role as director.
William’s current primary business interests are Archibald Frame Limited trading as Braemore Estates and Tomatin Trading Company Ltd. William purchased a site at Tomatin in 2005 which historically housed a Little Chef, Hotel and Petrol station and he has waited patiently for 13 years for the time to be right to develop it. In November 2018, he received planning permission for a development which will incorporate a 99 bedroomed hotel, 200 seater café, farm shop, retail outlets and fuel filling station.
