LEWIS businessman Angus Campbell has been appointed chairman of CalMac’s new community board, created by the ferry operator to provide a voice for communities on strategic issues.
The creation of the board was part of CalMac’s successful bid to operate West Coast ferry services for the next eight years, along with the appointment of Brian Fulton as director of community and stakeholder engagement.
Mr Fulton said: ‘Securing the right chairman is a key milestone in the development of the community board and, with Angus’s assistance, will now look to appoint 12 board members. We have been delighted by the calibre of applications for both the chairman and board memberships and are on track to have everything in place for the first board meeting in October.’
