Colin has followed a varied and successful career in national and international finance, rising to a senior level, before shifting full time into politics. He has worked in many countries around the world and latterly was located in the City of London. His experience and skills cover most aspects of finance.

He was elected as a Councillor in Midlothian in 2007 where he has acquired a solid reputation as a hard working councillor, and was then elected as MSP in May 2011.
