BID4Oban Welcomes New Board Members

BID4Oban is pleased to announce the appointment of six new Directors to the Board following the recent Extraordinary General Meeting.  Joining the organisation are Daniel MacIntyre, Paul Sloan, Tim Aldred, Fiona Fraser, Bryan Livingston, and Neil MacKay. Their diverse experience and commitment to Oban’s business community will play a vital role in shaping BID4Oban’s work in the year ahead.

We are also delighted to confirm the re‑election of returning Directors Billy Thomson, Rebecca Griggs, and Mark MacQueen who will continue to provide valued leadership, continuity, and local insight.

In addition, Fergus Murray and Kirsty Durrant will serve as advisors to the Board on behalf of Argyll & Bute Council, strengthening partnership working and ensuring alignment with wider strategic priorities for the town.

The new Board’s term begins at an exciting time with BID4Oban delivering a series of major seasonal events for the community. These include the Annual Fireworks Display on 7th  November, the much‑loved Reindeer Parade with Santa on 28th November, and the iconic Hogmanay Fireworks from McCaig’s Tower, a highlight of Oban’s festive celebrations.

BID4Oban extends sincere thanks to the local business community for their strong show of support at the recent EGM. This engagement and confidence in the organisation’s direction remain central to delivering projects and events that benefit residents, businesses, and visitors alike.
