Ellon Business Initiative is a not for profit limited company. It has a board of directors and is funded by local businesses through a membership scheme. Its prime role is to encourage businesses to locate in Ellon.

The company was founded in 2001 after local businesses identified a need to promote Ellon as a place in which to encourage businesses to locate. To help this process, this commercial register has been complied. The objective of this is to raise awareness of Ellon with local and national business leaders and promote it as a place to live - and work.

Ellon Business Initiative Limited's longer term objectives are to actively promote Ellon, help to secure funding for projects wishing to locate to Ellon and work with local business people in the community and property developers to achieve success in attracting business and work to Ellon. Ellon is already an outstanding place to live and work, but we are not complacent. There is a determination and commitment within the community to make this the place to be for you, your family and business.

Our current board members are:

• Dominic Fairlie (Bruce & Partners)
