Sainsbury’s honours Bracken with award
STEVE Bracken, Marine Harvest’s former business support manager, was given a lifetime achievement award at Sainsbury’s Farming Conference last month.
Bracken, who worked in the industry for 41 years until his retirement in August, said he was both surprised and delighted by the honour from the supermarket chain.
He had been invited to the event, held at the QE11 centre in London, by Sainsbury’s aquaculture and fisheries manager Ally Dingwall, but had no idea he was up for the award.
He said it was in recognition of his role in setting up Marine Harvest’s contract with Sainsbury’s, and for the two companies’ close working relationship which, he said, had been ’team work, as always’.
