About Us

Loch Ewe Community Enterprise (LECE) is a Community Benefit Society - a type of not-for-profit organisation that's registered with the Financial Conduct Authority. It's designed to benefit the community as a whole, rather than individual members, with any profits reinvested back into the society.

​

LECE was set up with the aim of purchasing a redundant industrial unit in the village of Poolewe, to act as a business hub for the surrounding communities. 

​

Like many rural communities, the Loch Ewe area is suffering from depopulation due to lack of affordable homes, shortage of business premises and an over-reliance on a seasonal visitor economy.

​

Our vision is that a community business park will help to address some of these issues, providing a stable base for year-round business, attracting young families into the area and encouraging entrepreneurs.
