On His return to Scotland Duncan spent time working as a property manager for a company in Glasgow. Duncan came to Inverness initially to open a property office in Inverness for the company he was contracted to in Glasgow. Duncan enjoyed the area so much he decided to make his home here so started Aspen Decking to tide him over until a real job turned up. The rest is history as they say!
