Business Minister Richard Lochhead gives Crieff Hydro’s £5m investment his seal of approval

Minister for Business Richard Lochhead visited Crieff Hydro recently to see the results of the group’s £5million investment in a complete dining refurbishment for the iconic resort.

Mr. Lochhead joined CEO Stephen Leckie at an event for the contractors, suppliers and partners involved in the landmark project, attended by more than 250 guests. The event was also attended by Jim Fairlie, Minister for Agriculture and Connectivity, and Xander McDade, Provost of Perth & Kinross.

Business Minister Richard Lochhead said, “This is an important milestone for a business synonymous with Scottish tourism. Crieff Hydro is an important economic driver in the region, providing investment, jobs and bringing new customers to local businesses.

“I look forward to watching the business flourish for decades to come and commend their leadership and dedication to top-rate tourism and hospitality.”

Stephen Leckie said, “This landmark project could not have been achieved without the hard work and passion of our entire team and the partner businesses who helped bring it to life. This is the most significant investment we have made in decades and marks the start of a new era in Crieff Hydro’s 157-year history.

“This project, and our ongoing efforts to continually better the experience we offer to our guests, underscores our commitment to championing Scotland’s world-class hospitality sector.”
