Wester Ross fish farmer wins national recognition 02 July, 2008 -
Colin joined Wester Ross Fisheries Ltd 24 years ago with no previous fish farming experience and has now established a reputation for a highly effective management style, consistently improving biological performance and commercial success. Colin is also a significant shareholder in the business. He became one of four former managers involved in a management buyout of Wester Ross Fisheries Ltd two years ago. The company is now the only wholly-owned indigenous salmon farm on mainland Scotland. Dr Chris Beattie of Skretting said: ‘In over six years of working in Aquaculture feed management, I did not meet a site manager who had a more open mind or willingness to embrace new thinking coupled with an ability to combine new ideas with decades of knowledge and experience. During my time in the Scottish industry, I had the pleasure of meeting many capable and hard-working farm managers. What sets Colin apart is that in the absence of large-scale investment, he always found a way of quickly taking the essence of a new idea and putting it into practice. In a very tough working environment and with limited resources, Colin was able to get the best from his people and his fish.’ www.fishupdate.com is published by Special Publications.
