The Challenge
Following the closure of a milk processing plant in Aberdeenshire, farmers in the region were suddenly without a local outlet for their milk. ONE and Aberdeenshire Council came together to fund a project, its aim: find a viable solution to raise funding for a new facility.
The Strategy
Working with the Scottish Agricultural Organisation Society (SAOS) to get the perspective from the farmers, we came up with the concept of a processing asset that would produce products to maximise the profitability of a factory, in a relatively remote region. We then contacted potential investors and customers with our case, with the intention of forming the best partnership possible to run the facility.
