Galen Milne

Galen Milne was selected by local Liberal Democrats to contest Banff and Buchan at the next general election. A party member, activist and campaigner since the seventies he was the secretary of Gordon Liberal Democrats when Malcolm Bruce first won the seat from the Tories in 1983. He is presently a member of the Scottish LibDems Executive. On leaving school he worked for 17 years at the Rowett Research Institute as a science technician. He then became a salesman for Scotlab covering laboratories in the key fishing, food, and oil related industries of Banff and Buchan. Mr Milne is presently managing director of Thistle Scientific, a UK wide supplier to the Life Science research sector. He understands the need for local industries to adapt their skilled workforce to combat recession and compete in the global economy. Married with two grown up daughters who both reside in Aberdeen, in his spare time he enjoys a regular game of bowls, the occasional round of golf, and watching the Dons. He is looking forward to the challenge of unwinding the current nationalist majority in Banff and Buchan. Galen Milne states - "I believe the traditional Liberal vote has been on loan to the SNP in this part of the North-East for far too long. My campaign mission will be to encourage the electorate to vote more with their heads than their patriotic hearts next time round. I will also challenge the 43% who chose not to vote in 2005 to take more responsibility for their future in this unique part of the UK where the traditional industries of farming and fishing co-exist alongside the more established and the evolving renewable energy industries".
