Case Study 1: Morvern tree services – MCT Business Start-up Grant
Local Arborist George Logue applied for MCT’s Business Start-up Grant to access funding from MCT, helping him to set-up Morvern Tree Services, a completely new business based in Lochaline. Morvern Tree Services operates all over Lochaber and the Central Belt and undertakes a range of professional tree climbing and groundwork, including crown reductions, storm recovery, preservation care & advice, plantation forestry work and domestic felling.
Morvern Tree Services is the first Morvern-based dedicated Arboreal business and meets a real local need, especially as storm severity increases. George and his wife Eilidh moved to Lochaline from Erskine in 2023 to be nearer family and George quickly identified that his skills and qualifications were keyworker skills that Morvern lacked. George received business start-up finance from MCT and Business Gateway. MCT also facilitated a meeting for George with Lochaber Chamber of Commerce to help with business planning and networking.
