THE firms responsible for Kishorn Port have done their bit to improve quality of life for some of the area's most vulnerable residents.
Directors of KPL Alasdair Ferguson and Colin Ortlepp have presented a cheque for £10,000 to the Howard Doris Centre in Lochcarron which provides a range of services for adults including supported accommodation, social facilities and day care.
They were accompanied for the presentation by port general manager Mike Bauermeister and operational and projects manager Kevin Ferguson.
The money raised was part of KPL's Caring in the Community campaign to raise supporting funds for worthy causes in the area close to the port.
The funds were ably supported by two offshore drilling companies who had assets being looked after and supported at the port recently, namely Diamond Off Shore Drilling Ltd, with their Semi- Submersible drilling rig the “Ocean GreatWhite” and Altera Infrastructure Ltd with the FPSO “Voyageur Spirit”.
The directors visited the head offices of both companies in Aberdeen to receive the funds to pass on to the Howard centre.
Chris Rennie of Diamond Off Shore Drilling and Andy Sutherland handed over the cheques to KPL.
A spokesperson for KPL, a 50/50 partnership between two family businesses, Ferguson Transport & Shipping and Leith Scotland Ltd, said: "On behalf of KPL we would like to thank all those who contributed, the companies involved, their invaluable staff and of course the KPL team.
"We were delighted to be in a position to hand over the donation. We believe it certainly will go a long way to helping and 'Caring in the local community'."
