About the Book

"Local Heroes" relates the extraordinary evolution of Loch Fyne Oysters, the highly successful and environmentally pioneering seafood company from the west coast of Scotland. A remarkably eloquent and inspiring read, it describes how two men from entirely different walks of life founded and built the company, and how the employee buy-out transpired and developed. The founding partners were Johnny Noble, an extrovert estate-owner drowning in debt, and Andy Lane, a marine biologist who was committed to environmentalism from the age of eight. The sudden death of Noble precipitated four bids from large companies keen to acquire the brand, but in 2003 an all-employee buyout fought off the would-be 'predators', then faced the challenging but energising process of managing an employee-owned company.

About the Author :
David Erdal gained a BA in Oriental Studies at Oxford, then spent time in Mao's China. He received a Harvard MBA before returning to Scotland to manage the family paper mill business, transforming it into a more open company, for which he was given the 'Scottish Business Achievement Award' in 1998. His St Andrews PhD was on the subject of employee ownership and he is now MD of Baxi Partnership, which structures and funds all-employee buyouts of medium-sized companies. He lives in Fife, Scotland.
