AMAN who was killed after he apparently lost control of his motorcycle at a roundabout on the A82, at the Balloch turn-off near Loch Lomond, on Tuesday was named last night by police as Alan Williamson, 38, from Hyndland, Glasgow. Police said no other vehicle was involved.
Born in Glasgow, Mr Williamson was the region leader of Marsh Risk Consulting for Europe and the Middle East. The company is a subsidiary of Marsh & McLennan Companies, a global professional services company with revenues of some GBP6.5bn.
A business profile of Mr Williamson appeared only last month in The Herald's sister paper, the Sunday Herald.
The article stated that he had recently been involved in providing risk consultancy for a major tourism project in the Middle East.
A songwriter and guitarist, Mr Williamson played in a duo called Molly
Splash, which had been due to release its seventh album this year.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
