Highland Local Food Network Suspended

18 March 2009

We've been shocked to hear that one of our clients, HILFN, has lost it's funding from the local enterprise company, HIE, and has therefore had to lay off it's 4 staff.

HILFN has been doing an excellent job of encouraging local food production, including training young apprentices and assisting new businesses in the sector.

We are particularly proud that in association with HILFN we have set up easily managed websites for 23 of these businesses in that time.

We would have thought that an organisation which has so clearly had a beneficial impact on the economy and wellbeing of the Highlands would have been high on HIE's list of priorities, but sadly not.
