The Team
Candice Wilson
Funeral Arranger
I started my career in the funeral industry in 1997 and over the years, have enjoyed gaining experience in all areas of the business. I achieved Diploma qualifications in both Funeral Directing and Embalming before returning to my first love of Arranging. I am member of the professional bodies the B.I.F.D and the B.I.E.
I am passionate about learning and customer service, so wanted to pass on my extensive knowledge and experience to other like-minded individuals, which is why I went on to gain a qualification as a National Association of Funeral Directors Approved Tutor, and tutored others in the profession to gain qualifications within the industry.
Before my employment in the funeral industry, I worked in Banking and Insurance which is where I developed my skills in customer care. I am very humbled and privileged in being entrusted by families to help them through their difficult times.
I live in West Edinburgh with my husband and cat and enjoy good food and good company, although at the weekend, I prefer to be away with my family exploring “Bonnie Scotland” in our campervan.
Philip Bryan
Funeral Director
I started my career in July 2001 as a Funeral Service Driver and progressed to a Funeral Operative and then a Funeral Director, it is a very satisfying role and a privilege to help people through a truly difficult time.
I am also very fortunate to work with such caring colleagues who are as passionate about The Funeral Director’s role in the community as I am.
I am originally from Edinburgh and am well known to the west side of the city, I now live in West Lothian with my wife and 3 children who keep me very busy between parental duties and all the activities they have.
Darren Gunn
Funeral Manager
I have worked in the funeral industry since 1998, starting as a funeral service operative and progressing to my current role as Funeral Manager. I am currently based at the Forrester Park branch but also manage other branches in the Edinburgh area.
I am extremely passionate about my job and I am proud to be associated with Scotmid Co-operative, I take great pride in my role and I am well-known, valued and respected within the surrounding communities.
I live in Edinburgh with my wife and 3 children (2 boys and a girl)…… so life outside work is very busy too.
