Proud Venue Sponsors
Iron & Pine are proud to be sponsoring a specially created unit for the Wigtown Book Festival which will showcase the festival’s special 25th Anniversary. The Iron & Pine Studio will have centre stage in the heart of Wigtown. There we will be showing a video that encapsulates the evolution of the festival and Wigtown itself over the last 25 years. In 1999 the struggling town’s community pulled together to win the prestigious title of “Scotland’s National Book Town”. Since then they have gone on to create 57 full time jobs and attract over 303,000 visitors to a now vibrant village.
Luke Mazs, Co-founder at Iron & Pine commented; “We see this as a fantastic opportunity to work with a team equally proud of their Dumfries and Galloway heritage. With the shared ambition of developing the rural economy in the south of Scotland, Iron & Pine are honoured and excited to be working with The Wigtown Book Festival Committee. We hope this year’s event is a resounding success. The Iron & Pine Studio will be presenting a film that highlights the 25-year success of the festival and the collective voice of the community. We are so pleased to be involved”.
Created 5 years ago with a view to developing a sustainable business in the region and providing employment for the local community, Iron & Pine has continued to grow. From the development of the first modular office in a friend’s barn in 2018 the company now produces a variety of holiday and residential accommodation, offices and commercial premises from their large workshop in Dalbeattie. Iron & Pine employs 12 people and delivers modular buildings to clients throughout the UK with plans to expand the business further in the coming months.
