He said: “An opportunity arose to progress my career with SBP and it’s been great to settle back into the team, it feels like I’ve never been away. I’m a local guy, born and bred in Fraserburgh and I’m looking forward to the challenge of helping SBP further increase their share of the market in the North-east.”

Managing partner, John Hannah, said: “We are delighted to welcome Michael back into the SBP team with a further two years of experience under his belt. His knowledge of the fishing industry is superb and he is a fantastic addition to our extensive fishing department.”

The company, which is more than 40 years old, provides assistance in accountancy, taxation and audit services, along with a range of expert financial services.

Mr Murray holds a number of community roles including, treasurer for Fraserburgh Business Association, chairman of Kessock Park, treasurer for the Sports Trust of Fraserburgh and he also helps safeguard the town’s greenbelt.
