We were delighted to welcome Kate Forbes, Deputy First Minister of Scotland, to the Port this morning. Her visit provided a valuable opportunity to share the latest details of the Port’s expansion plans, the significant investment interest in the region, and the future jobs and business opportunities these could create. We also discussed how upcoming projects and initiatives could strengthen the Green Freeport’s position as a key strategic national hub for renewable energy, which will benefit the local community and the wider Scottish economy. #PortOfCromartyFirth #HighlandTrustPort #TrustPort #CromartyFirth #Invergordon #KateForbes #MSPVisit #KateForbesMSP
