Arran Energy was created in 2007 by Angus Smith on his farm in Machrie.
After witnessing the large amount of wood fibre left behind in the local forests after commercial timber extraction, he decided to find a use for it and developed a local market for biomass wood fuels.
The first commercial premises to embrace biomass heating was The Kinloch Hotel, quickly followed by The Auchrannie Hotel. Several more commercial boilers followed, now 7 in total.
Angus continues to operate the business, with local dedicated staff attending to the daily production and delivery of our biomass woodfuels.
