Gary Cornes
// HND Legal Studies
// BA/BA (Hons) Law & Management
Gary comes originally from Glasgow but moved up to the North-east 12 years ago with his family, first to Peterhead before finally settling in Aberdeen. When he left school he opted for an apprenticeship in mechanical engineering but when he was made redundant a number of years later, he decided to go back to further his education.
