Rising to the rural challenges

Challenges are part of everyday life in the Scottish Highlands and Islands where life is lived on the edge of sustainability far from the economic centres of the UK and of Europe. It is a tribute to the people and companies who live and operate throughout this region that challenges are met and economic growth achieved, supporting a quality of life claimed to be unrivalled in the UK. William Laing, Managing Director of Gleaner Oil and Gas, reports on how his company is serving the local community and the challenges facing the independent fuel retail sector.
