The People Behind the Place

Meet our Volunteer Board of Directors

The charity is steered by a volunteer board of directors who receive no reward for their involvement. The Board oversee the reinvestment of all profits and surplus back into the fabric of the centre, organisation and community groups it supports.

Neil Matheson- Volunteer Chairman

 

Iain Campbell- Volunteer Director

Iain is Principal of CP Architects and spends much of his spare time on outdoor pursuits including sailing with his family. He is also involved with Oban Sailing Club and an active user of the pool with his family.

Roger Elliot- Volunteer Director

Roger Elliott helps Atlantis with marketing and communications. In his spare time he is Managing Director of Uncommon Knowledge, an Oban-based company supplying psychology training online to a global market. About becoming a director of Atlantis, Roger says "When I first moved to Oban, I was struck by the friendly and welcoming atmosphere in Atlantis. Then my wife Lyndsay and I had kids and now practically live in the place, so I figured I might as well help out! I think Oban has something truly special in Atlantis Leisure and we should all be proud of what the community has created". Roger can often be found in the gym, tearing up and down the pool, or messing around in the sea with his family.
