Thomas Purser runs the Fish Box Kitchen mobile catering trailer in Barra. Following a successful season renting a facility in 2024, Thomas decided to develop his business further by purchasing his own unit for 2025. He approached Business Gateway for business growth advice and was very happy with the support he received from his adviser, including signposting to various agencies.

Thomas now employs a member of staff to help him keep up with the growing demand from local residents and visitors. The Fish Box Kitchen trailer is a popular presence across the island, selling delicious seafood caught locally.

He would very much recommend Business Gateway to anyone thinking of starting or growing a business in the Outer Hebrides.
