The Scottish Government has appointed a former head of North Sea exploration at oil giant Shell to the board of its main environmental watchdog.
Dr Sue Paterson has been named as one of six new board members at the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (Sepa) by net zero secretary, Mairi McAllan, pictured left.
Paterson worked at Shell for nearly 30 years until 2010. Between 2002 and 2003 she was responsible for Shell’s oil “exploration and appraisal activities” in the North Sea.
