In these remote and rural locations, Cooke realises the importance of having lifesaving defibrillators accessible to the general public and within a close range.

Inspiring Shetland Young Minds | Careers with Cooke   Cooke Scotland team members had a fantastic day engaging with school pupils at the Developing the Young Workforce Aquaculture and Fisheries event in the Aith Hall on the west side of Shetland yesterday.   With more than 80 secondary two and three pupils attending from the Aith and Whalsay schools, it was a very busy but rewarding day, showcasing the many potential career paths within the Scottish salmon sector.   Each participating business had an activity for pupils to complete. We gave students the opportunity to test their knowledge by putting the salmon lifecycle pictures in order from egg to adult. They also got to learn more about what our seawater staff do on a daily basis, and got familiar with using an oximeter to record the oxygen levels and temperature of our seawater sample.   More on careers with Cooke: https://bit.ly/3PxdZhh
