ISLE of Mull trainees Alan Tangny and Claire Simonetta have made the shortlist for Lantra Scotland’s Land-based and Aquaculture Learner of the Year Awards.
Alan, 30, is doing a modern apprenticeship in aquaculture through Inverness College UHI, while working for Scottish Sea Farms Ltd.
Alan actively promotes aquaculture at major rural events, including the Mull Highland Games. He said: ‘I’m really proud I’ve been shortlisted, but if I was to receive this award, it would show that anything is possible. Not just for school-leavers or people starting out, but for those with lives, commitments and bills to pay, or people who are stuck in a rut and need a change.’
