Office My Staff - At your service
As a political representative, I have always made constituency service my priority. The new DUP European Office is committed to working for the people of Northern Ireland and providing a first class professional service. Let me introduce my team, ready to serve you:
Andrew Gowan
Born and raised in Fermanagh, Andrew has been an active member of the DUP since joining as a student. A graduate of Law, History and Politics from Queen's University, Andrew worked for two years as researcher to Jimmy Spratt MLA in the Northern Ireland Assembly, and was election agent to Arlene Foster MLA in the successful Enniskillen by-election last year. He is a member of the Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland.
As part of the team in the European Office, he will be responsible for political and communication strategy.

Alan McCulla
Alan lives just outside Annalong in County Down. He has been Chief Executive of one of Northern Ireland's commercial fishing organisations for over 17 years. This position has involved him in negotiations at local, national and European levels. In June 2008 his contribution to the fishing and wider community in Northern Ireland was recognised with the award of an OBE. Alan comes from a fishing industry family and other family members are still engaged with commercial fishing vessels.
Within the European team Alan has assumed responsibility for directing policy on Agriculture and Fisheries.
