Lorraine fished with her Dad as a child on their summer holidays from rocks, piers or the beach; mostly for mackerel. “Most of my bites were from the
midges – but that’s holidaying in Scotland for you! Our family holidays were always somewhere Dad could cast a line and we even ventured out on a
converted lifeboat from Portpratrick on many occasions. We’d catch mackerel, codling, spur dog (also known as rock salmon) and I even pulled a
three-bearded rockling all by age 12.”
Lorraine has a wealth of experience in the banking and finance administration sector, most recently for the holiday park leisure sector as an admin
manager. “I’d mainly be dealing with money and managing the caravans, helping owners and guests on their holiday break and sometimes serving in
the bar or making beds – whatever was necessary to make sure our guests had a fantastic stay. Now that my family is independent, I’m able to take
more time for myself and enjoy my hobbies.”
