This week saw the “official launch” of the now fully up and trading new business units in Crossapol!
Visiting guests included Brendan O’Hara MP, Cllr Amanda Hampsey, major funders Highlands and Islands Enterprise and representatives of several Tiree community groups. The ribbon was cut by Jacqui Bennett, former chair of trading subsidiary Tiree Community Enterprise Limited, on behalf of all the community governance volunteers involved in the multi-year project. Members of the public joined in too with a tour of the four businesses based at Ionad Iomairt Thiriodh – Machair Hair Salon, Screen Argyll, Jen Bardell Art Studio and Gallery, and Tiree Makery.
The sun was shining, food, drink and cake enjoyed, and a great celebration of a successful community project was had.
