Fishing News Awards and Scottish Skipper Expo 2023

Last week was an eventful one for the Scottish Fishing Industry with the return of the Fishing News Awards and Scottish Skipper Expo.

Mackinnons were pleased to attend the Fishing News Awards, recognising the achievements and success of the UK Fishing Industry. Huge congratulations to all of the nominees and winners and our thanks to the organisers of another brilliant event.

Mackinnons were also delighted to return to the P&J Live Arena for the 2023 Scottish Skipper Expo. The event was held over two days and allowed the fishing industry to come together to do business and network.

It was great to see a number of different stands on offer, showcasing the innovation and creativity of the Scottish Fishing Industry. Our staff enjoyed the opportunity to catch up with clients over the course of the weekend and highlight to new contacts how Mackinnons can help with any fishing related legal queries.

Partner, Martin Sinclair commented “As a firm, we are immensely proud of and value the strong links and friendships which we have built up over many years working alongside this industry. The latest challenges faced from these planned HPMAs need to be urgently addressed and Skipper Expo always provides a powerful platform for the industry to be heard on such issues. Our thanks to Sharon and her team at Mara Media for yet another wonderful show.  The Fishing News Awards Dinner provides an opportunity to showcase the strength and resilience of all who are involved in the sector, despite these recessionary times. From the success of that evening, it is clear that the future remains bright for all. We look forward to supporting you all again for another year.”

Thank you to all who came to visit our stand in what has been the twelfth year of the event being hosted here in Aberdeen. For more information on our fishing related services, please contact Graham Jones or Martin Sinclair or call 01224 632464.
