INVERNESS FOODSTUFF - Key Persons
Iain has worked in both the voluntary sector (over 30 years) and statutory sector (15 years)
Margaret grew up in Inverness and between the years 1976 - 1991 - worked as secretary, and marketing
My career choices have always been driven by a strong belief in fairness and equality.
I was therefore delighted to be offered the post of Operations Manager in July 2021 with Inverness Foodstuff, where people and community come first.
I have been very fortunate and benefited from working with a range of different organisations in the public, private and voluntary sector in managerial or development roles.
In my last post, I was interim CEO for the Highlands and Islands Students' Association. I have also been a co-ordinator for a charity supporting people with mobility problems; developed union-led learning across the Highlands and Islands enabling hundreds of workers to access learning; managed an MP's office and supported adults with learning disabilities.
Stuart attended Inverness High School and is a graduate of Edinburgh and Glasgow Universities.
