Fish Farmer

Parting shot

- - Dougie

‘Well that’s it, my days as AKVA group Scotland’s Senior Sales Prevention Officer are officially over!

After nearly 18 years with AKVA (and 40 plus years in fish farming) it is with very mixed emotions I’m retiring and sailing off into the sunset, on a Polarboat of course (as it’s the best boat in the market!).

My time as part of the Scottish aquacultur­e adventure has been everything I could ever have wished for and more –interestin­g, challengin­g and, from time to time, knowing that what we do makes a big difference to communitie­s in Scotland and around the world.

It has been a privilege to have worked in so many amazing places and with so many extraordin­ary people around the world. Very happy days indeed.

The one thing I really cherish is the friendship­s and laughter that I’ve enjoyed with so many like-minded people over the years…yes, I am thinking of you!

Whatever sector of the business we are in I have always felt we share a common purpose with aquacultur­e’s best interests in our heart.

I wish you and our industry continued success and I hope I will always retain my membership of a very special club - Scottish aquacultur­e.
