Mission
The Shetland Development Trust was established to support the local economy through providing financial assistance to industries and individual businesses. Returns on our investments ensure the sustainability of the Trust funds, we also recognise that returns come in many forms to the overall economy of Shetland and we must consider the positive social benefits our assistance can generate.
We strive to be at the forefront of business developments in Shetland and provide a highly professional, quality service. Our flexible approach ensures that our clients’ needs are met whilst satisfying our need to make sound investments.
Our function is essential to foster sustainability and growth in the industries and businesses that form the Shetland economy.
Our performance is in the interest, and to the benefit, of the wider Shetland community and the businesses that we support.
