Looking for a bike-related business opportunity in Scotland? The Forestry Commission is looking for “suitably experienced businesses or individuals” to start up a bike hire and shop in Galloway Forest Park. The Park includes the 7Stanes trail centres of Glentrool and Kirroughtree, and the new business will be set up at the Kirroughtree Visitor Centre.

If you take the job on, you’ll be starting from scratch – there’s a building there, but it’s not currently ready for action. FC Scotland plan to convert it into something suitable by the Autumn.

Closing date for expressions of interest is 31 July 2006, and interviews with the shortlisted names will take place in August. Want to know more? Contact Galloway Forest Park by email or call 01671 402420.
