I am fortunate to have been born, brought up and worked all my life in Orkney. I served my apprenticeship and worked for 20 years at the Flotta Terminal. I spent several years working for OIC as Community Safety Officer before returning to Flotta and retired from post of Terminal Superintendent in 2021. I am married to Kathleen and have three grown up children, all married, and at the latest count, four grandsons.
