Andy is the local church of Scotland parish minister, and has served the local community here since 2012. He is married to Carrie and they have three children, two in high school and one at the primary. Before joining the ministry he worked at an outdoor centre after which he worked for a children’s charity. When he's not working he is either fiddling with computers, reading fantasy books or watching sci fi and he loves a good board game and pizza – separately or together!
Jemma is a partner and one of the 5 Florists at Occasions. When not at work she is at home with her family. Most of her spare time is spent with her grandchildren – which is the best role in the world. Jemma has been lucky to have lived in Eyemouth her whole life and it’s where she and her husband wanted to bring their children up too. Jemma is very passionate about Eyemouth and the surrounding district; so much so that she's spent most of my life volunteering for many organisations including being Provost and Chairperson of Eyemouth Community Council, being Vice Chair of Eyemouth Herring Queen Committee, and the make-up department for the Eyemouth Variety group. Currently she is Coordinator for Eyemouth Response Team and Treasurer and member of Eyemouth & District Chamber of trade.
Fiona is Eyemouth born and bred, and has lived here all her life apart from a brief spell in Tweedbank. Much of her career has been in banking, but she also enjoyed working as a Healthcare Business Manager for a time, tried her hand at being a retained Fire Fighter and has also done a bit of Youth Work. Nowadays she might be seen pottering about around the harbour where she works in the office for 'Bing', or perhaps heading to a Gym Class or two. She also loves to spend with her two Grand-daughters. Fiona has a huge passion for our town and loves to give something back, so she has volunteered for EDT and, previously, Eyemouth Herring Queen for more than a decade.
