Change of suppliers for FAME CEO and Deputy CEO

From January 2025, both FAME’s CEO and Deputy CEO have separately moved
to work for new employers, and the contracts to deliver those services in both cases have transferred over to those new employers. Formerly, both Kenneth Aitchison (FAME’s CEO) and Doug Rocks-Macqueen (FAME’s Deputy CEO) worked for Landward Research Ltd (not a FAME member), and FAME had two contracts with that company for those services. The contract to provide FAME with a CEO has transferred to Headland Archaeology Ltd (a FAME member), where Kenneth is International Business Development Manager. The Deputy CEO contract has been transferred to Open Past, a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation, where Doug is Executive Director. Any risks of potential conflicts of interest that might arise from having a FAME member employ the CEO are mitigated by our CEO separating himself from FAME’s decision-making process on any matters that would have a disproportionate positive or negative impacts on Headland or on any other FAME member or members.
