Patrick Ungless

Pat was elected to the Board in 2022.

Originally from Suffolk, Pat worked for many years in IT, becoming a Senior Manager in a large IT services company before forming his own Management Consultancy in partnership with a colleague, providing support to companies for procurement of IT outsourcing services.

While walking the West Highland Way in 2001 with his wife Val, the notion that a life style change away from the busy south had a growing appeal, triggering a move to Invermoriston in 2002, to start a holiday accommodation and B&B business, which they ran for the next 12 years. Anticipating retirement, they bought a house in Inchnacardoch, best known to older locals as “Elsie’s house” in 2012 and spent 3 years gutting and renovating it before moving there in 2015.

Active in the community, Pat was a founder member of the Glenmoriston Heritage Group and a committee member of the Millennium Hall, occupying the role of Treasurer for 15 years, before standing down in 2021. Introduction to local culture motivated him to learn to play the accordion and with some modest success, he progressed to play for monthly Ceilidhs held in the Millennium Hall for many years. He is a Director of Fèis Gleann Albainn, our local traditional music charity.

He applied to become a director of FAGCC in order to continue his community involvement and the hope that his previous experiences and local knowledge would enable him to make a useful contribution. In November 2023, Pat volunteered himself as the Community Company’s GDPR Officer.

In retirement, Pat’s principal interests and activities are photography, an active member of the Great Glen Camera Club, learning to play new tunes and tinkering with his 50 year old classic car (a yellow Triumph for those old enough to remember) he rebuilt in 1995 that can be seen occasionally driving through the village and riding his bike in an attempt to defer the aging process.
