Colin is the General Manager of McCain Potatoes (the McCain Foods seed potato business) based at Pugeston, Montrose, Scotland.
McCain Potatoes supply in excess of 30,000 tonnes of seed potatoes annually to the GB McCain Foods processing growers, who in turn supply the ware crops to the GB factories.
Colin joined McCain in 2007 as Operations Assistant and then became Operations Manager in 2012 -a position that he held for 8 years before becoming General Manager in 2020.
Away from work Colin has 2 children (teenage boys) and lives in the county of Angus with his partner Susan. His interests include pipe bands, music & walking.
The bulk of the tonnage of seed potatoes traded in Great Britain for both the home and export markets is handled by the 120 members of the new Association. This gives the Association greater negotiating power on behalf of its members.
