About the business
Macleod Heating Services Ltd was established by Garry Macleod in 2025. Garry has over 20 years of experience in the plumbing and heating industry, having worked with local firms. He is registered with both Gas Safe and OFTEC, meaning he can offer a wide range of services to customers.
I’m really pleased to have launched Macleod Heating Services Ltd and to be serving the local community. Business Gateway’s support, from guidance on funding sources to marketing advice, was invaluable in helping me get started, and I’m looking forward to growing the business.
How Business Gateway has helped
Through Business Gateway, Garry accessed grant funding support from the Outer Hebrides Young Enterprise Support Scheme (OHYESS), which is funded by Highlands and Islands Enterprise and delivered by the Comhairle’s Business Gateway team.
Garry was also awarded a grant from the Outer Hebrides Digital Support Scheme (OHDSS), which is funded by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund and delivered by the Comhairle’s Business Gateway team. The funding allowed the business to purchase tools and digital items that were essential to allowing the business to start fully trading.
Through OHDSS, Garry also accessed specialist digital one-to-one support, which helped to develop a marketing strategy for the business.
