A FEW EXAMPLES OF PROJECTS UNDERTAKEN

Client confidientiality is paramount to Les Oman Associates and so you will understand that it is not possible to provide examples of most of my work. However the following projects were fairly high profile and remainin the public domain. The links will either take you directly to my work or will alternatively provide you with some contextual background information.

Seafood Scotland - Code of Practice Coordinator for Scottish Fish Markets (Aberdeen, Peterhead & Fraserburgh). This role was for the old version of Seafood Scotland aka The Scottish Seafood Project which ran as part of the PESCA programme.

In addition, I have provided representation and secretariat services to Loch Fyne Marine Trust, Live Shellfish Traders (Scotland) Ltd (see under consultees), Kintyre Road Users Group and I have undertaken the role of Chairman (unpaid) of Dalrida Business Action Group who are campaigning for a ferry link between Argyll and Northern Ireland. I have also been or am involved, on a voluntary basis, with a a number of community-based organisations and events such as MOK Fest, Tarbert Music Festival, Opportunity Kintyre, Campbeltown Sewerage Task Force and local radio station Argyll FM where I was a volunteer presenter for seven years until recently.
