Scrabster Harbour Trust is managed by a Board consisting of six non-executive and one executive member.  Two non-executive vacancies are to arise at this year’s AGM and applications are invited to fill these vacancies.  Appointments will be for a term of three years.

The full Board requires to have wide and relevant experience, and candidates will therefore be expected to have skills and experience in business or industrial management, harbour operations, or administration and local community interests.  The ability to work well within a committee, to grasp and deal with complex issues and to express your own views clearly will be necessary.  Residence within a reasonable distance of the harbour and familiarity with local issues will be desirable.

Board Members are remunerated and are required to attend meetings and otherwise to devote two days per month on average to the work of the Board.  Duties are similar to those of a company director and will include responsibility for the proper exercise of the statutory functions of the Board.

Scrabster Harbour has appointed a new Trust Manager as it seeks to continue its growth and development.

Ryan Maclean, currently a Senior Operations Manager with Tesco Business Solutions, will take up post at the Caithness port in September. He will succeed Sandy Mackie who is retiring after fifteen years at the helm of the northern harbour.

Mr Maclean said “I am honoured to be appointed as the new Trust Manager of Scrabster Harbour. This port has a rich history and a vital role in the region’s economy, and I am excited to build on the impressive legacy left by Sandy Mackie. I look forward to working with the dedicated team at the harbour and the wider community to ensure we capitalise on new opportunities and continue to thrive.”.

Tom Pottinger, Chair of Scrabster Harbour Trust, commented “The Trust is delighted to announce the appointment of Mr Ryan Maclean to lead the port and continue the success Scrabster already enjoys.

Later this year the Harbour Trust will announce record results for financial year 2023-24. Indeed, we have achieved record revenues in eight of the past ten years. That success reflects the Trust’s strategy, good management and past investment in port infrastructure.

In Ryan we have secured a new leader with broad management experience and I am delighted that Scrabster gives him the opportunity to return to Caithness to further his career. I look forward to his contribution towards the challenge of maintaining our current momentum. With new major opportunities arising in areas such as offshore wind, these prospects together with our traditional strengths, improved capacity and facilities, and strategic location mean a bright future for Scrabster Harbour”.

Over £38 million has been invested in improved infrastructure and facilities at Scrabster since 2011.
