Hebridean Smokehouse is based in the village of Clachan employing 10 people all year round and up to 25 during the busy Christmas packing season. Joanna Peteranna, area manager for HIE in the Outer Hebrides, said: “Companies such as the Hebridean Smokehouse are vital for the Outer Hebridean economy and bring employment opportunities to our communities. “This latest project by Hebridean Smokehouse will make many improvements to the business, mainly carbon and cost reductions, and will also boost production capacity and enhance the brand visibility. The diversification of packaging formats that the new skin packaging machine provides will enhance our offer to UK and overseas markets. “The recyclability of the packaging keeps us up to date with customer expectations as well as enhancing the presentation of our premium products.
