A growing number of under 30s have been turning to Fraserburgh Enterprise Hub (FEH) for support in launching their own businesses.
Manager Pamela Neri said it was likely the knock-on effect of a slowdown in the North Sea oil and gas industry, and the necessity of self-employment due to redundancies and few job vacancies.
Supporting local regeneration efforts, the project was launched by Aberdeen-based social enterprise Elevator in 2018.
The North Aberdeenshire Leader programme – a funding initiative designed to support rural economic growth – awarded £149,549 of EU and Scottish Government cash to transform a council chamber and former police station into FEH’s home on Saltoun Square.
