Derek Mackay

County Representative

"Having run the London Marathon for CRY and had personal experience (through the sudden death of my 19yr old cousin Stephen Rowan, Paisley) I am happy to put some effort your way.

 

My council role, health position and links with Scottish Government would place me well to support CRY and the aims of the charity.  I have also enjoyed media and skills training as you would expect.

 

With these responsibilities (and having a young family) time is precious for me, but so is life.  I feel that with the devolved Scottish Government, and recent announcements on screening by the Scottish Cabinet Secretary Nicola Sturgeon MSP, better Scottish representation is important."

 

Derek Mackay was first elected to Renfrewshire Council in May 1999 for the Blythswood Ward in Renfrew.   He served on a number of committees and policy boards including the Community & Family Care Policy Board which, in addition to Social work, also has responsibility for health and care issues.

 

Previously a parliamentary researcher for an MSP he continues to serve the SNP nationally as an Area Organiser and National Convenor of the Appeals Committee. On 17 May 2007 Derek became Leader of Renfrewshire Council.

 

Derek was raised in Renfrew, where he continues to live with wife Jennifer and sons Andrew and James.
