BIG DEMAND FROM INVESTORS FOR PORTPATRICK HARBOUR SHARES
Written by author on September 11, 2015
MORE than 100 investors have come forward to give plans for a community buy-out of Portpatrick Harbour a huge boost.
The Portpatrick Harbour Community Benefit Society has had an amazing pick up in its newly launched community share offer over its first weekend, as over 100 investors came forward.
Portpatrick is set to be the first of its kind in Scotland, a community-owned harbour, funded through community shares.
It is now possible for people to become owners in the beautifully situated harbour, in the heart of Portpatrick, which has provided a safe haven for sailors for over 400 years.
Calum Currie chairman of Portpatrick Community Benefit Society said “We knew there was a good strong interest out there from local people, regular visitors, sailors, maritime communities and expats keen to invest in our community share offer, but this has been a sprint start with over 100 investors coming forward on day one.
“We have already reached 37% of our target and are extremely heartened by this remarkable support.”
