Brought up in a small village called Broughton in the Scottish Borders just outside Pebbles, George attended Broughton Primary and then Peebles High School. He then went to Borders College where he studied Game Keeping.

George's first job was working as a student on Dunsyre Estate for 2 years where he assisted in looking after 8,000 pheasants and 2,000 acres of grouse moor. George then moved to Kinveachy Estate where he secured his first full time beat keepers job. He worked at Kinveachy for 6 years with grouse and deer and it was during this time that George started to become interested in pest control and decided to start his business.
