    What does ‘Fiuran’ mean??

    A lot of people ask us what ‘Fiuran‘ means, so here goes…

    Fiuran is a Scottish Gaelic word that basically means ‘a straight free-growing young tree’ or ‘a blooming or handsome youth’. Although we don’t speak much Gaelic, we still appreciate it as a beautiful language, and this simple word seemed to sum up where we were.

    “Out of tiny acorns, mighty oaks grow.”

    Modest beginnings, but with the right foundations, ingredients and substance to become something great. All companies – even the biggest you can think of – started somewhere, usually an individual, or a small group, with a great idea and the drive and belief to make it work.

    We didn’t set out to be the biggest, only the best. We strive for 100% satisfaction and the feedback we have had suggests that we’re on the right track, with us recently receiving our first bit of repeat business.

    However, although we have now perhaps grown past the point of being a ‘small sapling’, the company ethos is still resolutely there, and the satisfaction of our customers is and always will be at the core of what we do.
