We would like to thank Bill for the hard work and dedication that he has shown in the role, and whilst we are sorry to see Bill moving on, we look forward to the new opportunities which will arise.”

I will work with colleagues and the board of Commissioners to ensure that the transition from my leadership to the next will be as smooth as possible. It will always be the priority of the Crofting Commission to ensure that we are providing a reliable and meaningful service to Crofters, which I do not wish to compromise during this phase of change.
I am thankful to all who offered support, guidance and scrutiny to me during my time as Chief Executive. Whilst I will miss my friends and colleagues very much, it’s time for me to embark on a new chapter in my life. “
