Buchan back at the helm of OIC

Following the end of his two year secondment to Shetland Islands Council, chief executive Alistair Buchan has now returned to work as the head of Orkney Islands Council.

Mr Buchan had his first day back in charge yesterday, Tuesday. He now plans to hold a series of meeting with officials and councillors in School Place.

He said that he was delighted to be back, and was grateful to the OIC for allowing him the opportunity to work in Shetland for the past two years, where he has headed up a large scale restructure and cost cutting exercise.
