Denise McDougall – Accounts
Denise puts to good use her many accounting and administrative qualifications in running our very busy accounts department, together with the part time aid of her mother, Gina. Her eight years accountancy background, together with the experience gained in running her own small business, have amply provided her with the specific organisational skills vital to her profession.

He has overall responsibility for the USA and foreign markets as well as always being on hand to give the benefit of his indepth knowledge on IT matters.

Christine is a brilliant all-rounder. Apart from her own busy logistical duties she is able to fulfil those niches that daily arise within the realm of red tape and documentation for overseas orders as well as being the ‘Jill of all trades’ in standing in when colleagues are on holiday or necessarily absent from their desks. She has an eye for detail that surpasses the norm.
Rhona Johnstone – Quality Control/Technical Manager
Rhona is no newcomer to Framgord. After 11 years as technical manager for Farne Salmon & Trout, two years as factory manager for MacKnights Smoked Foods Inc. in Florida, including an interim spell globe trotting for Framgord, she has now returned to us full time in her specialised field.
Evette Walterson – Sales Assistant
Evette has been associated with the seafood industry from the age of 14. A holiday job resulted in her becoming a full-time filleter by the age of 16. She began working in white fish and subsequently switched to work with salmon, both fresh and smoked.
With another string to her bow, in the form of computing and administration qualifications, she had just the perfect combination of skills to slide effortlessly into her present role. She has now become an invaluable addition to the sales team.
