Bertie Armstrong is leaving his position as CEO of the Scottish Fishermen’s Federation (SSF) later this year, the SSF said.
Armstrong will be replaced by Elspeth Macdonald, deputy chief executive of Food Standards Scotland, who will take over her new role in August.
“This has been a planned succession process. I have lived and breathed this industry for 14 years and it’s been an exciting period of change,” said Armstrong.
“There was never going to be an absolutely ideal time to hand over, but with phase one of Brexit almost complete, it makes sense to do it later this year.”
