FUSION Marine has appointed Iain Macdonald as operations manager in a move that will enable the Argyll-based company to further develop and service its order book.

A former merchant navy deck officer, Iain brings a wealth of experience to Fusion Marine, having most recently worked in Thailand where he was involved in oil and gas subsea construction work.

Based at Fusion Marine’s manufacturing facility at Barcaldine, Iain is overseeing the fabrication of fish farm pens and a range of other equipment for the aquaculture and marine sectors.

‘There is a fantastic team of people here at Fusion Marine and it is great to be part of Scotland’s dynamic and innovative aquaculture industry.’
