Full biography/contact details:

Conor joined BASC in 2003, spending several years successfully negotiating wildfowling leases and consents in England, Wales and Northern Ireland before expanding his role as Policy Development Manager to oversee the submission of BASC responses to all government consultations nationally and internationally.  He specifically represents shooting interests on any proposals affecting the open general licences for pest birds. 

Conor qualified as a Zoologist in Ireland in 1996 and began work on a game-keeping and habitat restoration project to save the Irish grey partridge from extinction, for which his research was awarded a PhD.  He takes a keen interest in that project to this day, the last Irish population having recovered from a low of 22 birds a decade ago to over 900 birds today.
