Stewart Graham, managing director of the Inverness-based Gael Force Group, has been unanimously elected to the board of Salmon Scotland. Graham brings 40 years of experience in the aquaculture and marine sectors and is a well-respected figure in Scotland and internationally.
Over those four decades, he has led Gael Force on a growth journey as a prominent supplier and manufacturer of robust aquaculture equipment, technology, and services. Graham is also credited with leading the initiative in 2016 to formalise a Vision for Aquaculture to 2030, which led to the creation of an industry leadership group to drive progress in the sector.
“Our farming companies couldn’t do what they do without the support of experienced supply chain companies like Gael Force, so I’m particularly pleased that Stewart will bring his knowledge, experience and perspective from establishing and running one of the leading supply chain companies in the Scottish aquaculture sector,” stated Atholl Duncan, chair of Salmon Scotland, in a press release.
Graham joins Hendrix Genetics’ Jarl van den Berg and Inverlussa’s Ben Wilson – who were appointed to the Salmon Scotland board in 2022 – and the heads of the major Scottish salmon producers on the board of Salmon Scotland.
