About Us

MyMoray has been created by the Moray Economic Partnership to provide a platform to promote the region and support the local economy. The group includes 10 partners who work together to demonstrate why Moray is a great place to live, work, study and invest.

The Moray Economic Partnership (MEP) is a partnership to support the local economy.

The partnership members are: Moray Council, Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE), Moray College UHI, Skills Development Scotland (SDS), Moray Chamber of Commerce (MCC), NHS Grampian, Federation of Small Businesses, Robertson, the Moray Strategic Business Forum and TSI Moray.

The partners have key individual and collective influences on the economy, which deliver impact through acts of cooperation, coordination and collaboration on a jointly-devised programme of activities focussed on skills and training, culture and tourism, development, transportation, inward investment, talent attraction and business growth. The MEP also has a governance role in the Moray Growth Deal.

About Moray

Moray is an exceptional environment to visit, live and work, with affordable housing, quality schools, unforgettable landscapes on your doorstep and a much lower crime rate than the national average.

The region has a rich history and a stunning natural beauty, from sandy beaches and windswept mountains to romantic castles and the historic town of Elgin. Moray even has its own ancient Scots dialect – Doric, which is still widely spoken and even featured in the Disney/Pixar movie Brave.

However, Moray is celebrated not just for where it comes from but also for where it is going. As a business destination, Moray is fighting fit. It is enjoying investment across many sectors, whether that’s tourism, its major role in a food and drink industry worth £1 billion per year to the Scottish economy or aerospace development. As well as being home to 39 Engineer Regiment, based at Kinloss Barracks, RAF Lossiemouth operates Typhoon and P8 aircraft, as well as the Wedgetail surveillance fleet.

From emerging digital technology to world-renowned whiskies, Moray has the expertise to support the growth of world-class businesses as well as independent producers. The region’s coastal location and 30 years of operational experience in energy-related engineering and manufacturing, Moray also has the ambition to become a world leader in renewable energy.
