Atlantic Bow Communications Limited

Due to age and following the sad death of Alexander Grant, we have now ceased trading and will be removed from the Register of Companies. Atlantic Bow (Communications) Limited was originally set up in 1994 by its founding directors, Alexander Grant and David Walls as a consultancy and project development firm. Dr. Stewart Massie was appointed Technical Director in 2009. We specialised in market research, risk management, distance learning, and research into combining ICT with legal, financial, commercial, educational, etc. professional services. We have worked largely, but not exclusively, in the fishing, seafood and aquaculture sectors. In particular, our EC funded report "The Seafood Industry of the Highlands and Islands of Scotland and the West Coast: The Problems of Remoteness in a European Context"(EC Ref. UK-11-Focus, August 1997) had a major impact on the UK industry and has been the basis of much of our subsequent work to date. More recently we were awarded an FIFG grant to carry out an "innovation" development project that looked at the vital question of the standardisation of data to facilitate data exchange across the seafood industry as a "proof of concept" project. To demonstrate the practical application of the draft standard specification that was developed, there was specific focus on quality management, compliance certification and audit in the field of organic aquaculture. This project was successfully completed in June 2008. The outcomes can be viewed at the AQuaManage section of our Scotsea site Please contact us to obtain access authorisation and documentation.
